I currently have ( CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 8GB (2x4GB) DDR4 DRAM 3000MHz C15 )

I want to buy ( CORSAIR Vengeance RGB 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3000MHz C16 Desktop Memory)

My mother board ( MSI Gaming AMD Ryzen B350 DDR4 VR Ready HDMI USB 3 ATX Motherboard (B350 Tomahawk Arctic)

Will I be able to run these two ram sticks together without issues?

 
Solution
The rgb won't be the issue but anytime you try to add ram it's not guaranteed. This is why they sell 2&4 stick kits to ensure compatibly. It may work exactly as advertised, it might work at a slower speed or looser timings or they may not work together at all. Buying the exact same rgb kit will have the exact same possibilities
