Your MB manual says this.

"It is recommended that memory of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used. "

However...I would try it. I think there's a good chance it will work and if it does I think it will probably run at 2400.

There is no making sure it will work. You will have to try it.

Although, I have mixed memory many times and most of the time it has worked.

...but usually I don't actually buy mismatched memory....I usually have it laying around.

If I were to buy memory I would buy matched memory.

The articles I have read about users mixing ram of different Mhz all say that yes it is possible but the lower rates Mhz ram put pull down the higher rated so in your particular case the 32000 Mhz will not operate at that speed it will be pull down by the 24000 Mhz. If your choice is due to price why not just wait a while till you have a bit more money.

I'm in a greet need of memory capacity. Percacily i need 32GB 3200Mhz, but now i can buy just one . i want to add 8GB 2400 with 16GB instead of operating the 16gb alone.
