Question Can I mix my sinlge 8gb ddr4 2400mhz stick of ram with a different branded one?

[PassedFN]

So I have a crucial 8gb ddr4 2400mhz single stick and a friend of mine gave me a corsair 8gb ddr4 2133mhz.
Im pretty sure both of the ram have different spd latencies. Well i dont know if i should try and put it as a dual channel and works
Is it gonna work? or am i gonna have problems? My motherboard has an am4 chipset and is compatible with this kind of mhz frequency from a research ive done also i have a ryzen 3 1200
What frequency of mhz is it gonna run at?

The only way to know is to try.

I think it will probably run at 2133.

Take it out.
Make sure you are powered down when you are switching these out by the way.
I think that chances are it will work.

Of the dozen times a day this is asked here, the answer is always the same.

It might work, it might fail.

If it fails to work, you take it out, send it back, and get your money back.
