Ok so i've recently bought a Crucial Ballistix 3200mhz 2x 8GB DDR4 Dual Channel kit by mistake as im currently running 2x 8GB Crucial Ballistix 3600mhz DDR4.
If i connect the 3200s the motherboard will automatically detect the lower RAM speed in the BIOs am i right?
With that being said will it run stable enough if i pair both the 3200mhz & 3600mhz together and select 3200 in the XMP and set the Memory Frequency value in the bios to 3200mhz with no overclock (theoretically would that be underclocking the 3600mhz ram?)
The 3600mhz sticks are currently in A2 and B2 and i was thinking of the 32s going in A1 and B1!
My other concern is the timings, the 3600 reads 16-18-18-38 whereas the 3200 reads 16-18-18-32, it seems like only the Cycle Times are slightly different! How can i get the cycle timings to match in the bios to make sure they're running stable together if i can?
I play a lot of games both heavily demanding and not so demanding and i find 16GB of RAM for gaming is perfect but i've recently started game developing in Unreal Engine and it can sometimes have a heavy impact especially render times or editing cut scenes etc in DaVinci Resolve. So i wanted to get the extra 16GB to give me more headroom without the fear of programs freezing or lagging and an overall better running PC.

Windows 10 Pro
Asus ROG Strix b450-f Gaming II
Ryzen 5 3600 CPU
Any help would be great, thanks guys
