Hey everyone,
Today's question might be quite obvious but I thought to ask either way, I have 1 kit of Patriot Viper Steel 2x8GB 3200MHz CL16 already running in my system, I recently got the option (cousin upgrading from 16GB 2x8GB to 32GB 2x16GB) to throw in an extra kit of a different vendor, and slightly different speed memory. (I believe it's the G.Skill Trident Z 16GB 2x8GB 3400MHz CL16 kit.)
Now, I believe I can adjust the RAM speeds and timings manually so I don't think it'll make much of a difference because I'll make both kits run at 3200Mhz CL16 as I mainly need the capacity upgrade more than the speed upgrade.
Issue is, I'm running on a B450M motherboard and a 3200G, which are notorious for not letting high speed 4x8GB kits to run stably, let alone kits from different vendors.
I'll be able to test for myself soon enough, but I don't have high hopes, I just wanted to ask here to see maybe someone's done something like it or at least something similar, sanity checking and all that.
