yea, you should be fine if they run at the same frequency. I used a few random sticks in my old desktop and never had issues.

You should be able to run CPU-Z and check the Memory tab page to see if they're operating optimally.

You can check the SPD tab page for ech memory module and determine if the timings being used are optimal.

in a normal situation, its possible to mix and match ram, but occasionally, the computer will reject it.
