Make sure each set stays in their own channel and it should work. However: the motherboard should automatically underclock the channel with faster RAM to match the slower RAM.

No guarantees, since not all motherboards do this; but I hear that most of the newer and more expensive ones do.

Good afternoon.
In principle, it is not necessary that everyone should have the same frequency. All will work with the same frequency, in your case, the most low-ridden among them.
For reliability, you can include them in different channels, which does not always work on new motherboards running Intel chipsets.
If the memory strips 2x2 can safely install on your computer, but that would have the same standing in the slots of the same color.
Just in case, check the latest BIOS version on the motherboard before installing.
