Mixing Ram speed

[DaZe_FAM0US]

I currently have 8GB Gskill trident X clocked at 1600mhz and its not enough to run the games i want i was wondering if i got the same ram just clocked at 2400 instead of 1600 will it be fine?

i have read around but i cant get a solid answer any help is appreciated!

The ram will run at the speed of the lowest frequency ram you have in your system.

 

The 2400 will downclock it's self to 1600

A clock like that sounds like DDR4, make sure it isnt DDR4
