Can I match these 2 kits of 2 x 8gb ddr4 RAM?

G.Skill Ripjaws V 3600mhz CL16 timings: 16-19-19-39

(MODEL number: F4-3600C16D-32GVKC )

Crucial Ballistix 3600mhz CL16 timings: 16-18-18 (I think its supposed to be 16-16-18-18)

(MODEL number: BL2K8G36C16U4B )

I currently own the Ripjaws V set and was interested in going up to 32gb of ram. I noticed however that the ballistix kit is cheaper, then another kit, of the same one I have. Would love to hear which sticks I can/should match my current ones with.

Thank you for your time.

What platform are you on? To be honest I'd step up to 2x16GB and use the 2x8GB for spares or another build.

To answer the question. It cannot be said with 100% certainty but it's moderately likely you could get these kits to work together. You may have to run them all at the speed of the slowest pair though.
