Motherboard: msi meg z490 unify
Cpu cooler:kraken
Case: NZXT H710
RAM: Corsair vengeance 3200 64gb
PSU: Corsair CX750W
SSD: Force MP510
GPU: GIGABYTE RTX 2070

My question is i accidentally bought more corsair vengeance pro sticks but they are the SL type...so would they both work along side eachother.

x2 16gb 3200 mz corsair vengeance pro
and
x2 16gb 3200 mz corsair vengeance pro SL

Hey there,

It's hard to say. The advice is always to have a matched kit, 2 x 8 or 4 x8 or whatever. The reason is they are tested to work right out of the box. That doesn't mean yours won't work, but likely you will have to tinker around a lot in the bios changing timings and voltage manually. Even then, there's a chance they just won't work. You will have to try them to see.

On another note. You have an average PSU in a fairly power hungry system. I wouldn't go overclocking your CPU too much, if at all. The PSU is middling, and although not the worst, I would want something a bit better in that system.

You have the means to answer this question yourself with more certainty than any of us.
Try it.
Run memtest86 or memtest86+
They boot from a usb stick and do not use windows.
You can download them here:

MemTest86 - Official Site of the x86 Memory Testing Tool

MemTest86 is the original self booting memory testing software for x86 and ARM computers. Supporting both BIOS and UEFI, with options to boot from USB.

www.memtest86.com

Memtest86+ | The Open-Source Memory Testing Tool

Memtest86+ is an advanced, free, open-source, stand-alone memory tester for 32- and 64-bit computers (UEFI & BIOS supported)

www.memtest.org

If you can run a full pass with NO errors, your ram should be ok.

Running several more passes will sometimes uncover an issue, but it takes more time.
Probably not worth it unless you really suspect a ram issue.

If you think you are close to working, you can try increasing the ram voltage in the bios a bit.
