Can different speed RAM sticks run at the same time?

the new modules, if the motherboard accept them, will run at 2400mhz

 

all modules are forced to run at the speed of the slowest module

I'm upgrading my PC and will be buying some newer RAM. Will there be a problem with running two sticks of DDR4 3200 (2 x 8GB) in dual channel, while also having my two older sticks of DDR4 2400 (2 x 4GB) in the other 2 channels? Sorry if it's a stupid question, I'm obviously pretty uneducated when it comes to computer hardware.

Your 3200 will have to slow down to match, so I don't recommend it.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad
