hi, i have not been into tech for a few years so got a question , was short of ram for dual channel , so bought another stick , tried to get as much similar as possible, but somehow ended up with cl15 ,while the other (old one is cl16) , it didnt boot at first with new one added, and red led near ram was blinkink, switched them arround in slots, booted up , but strangely enought the older cl16 stick now running at cl15 like the new one, i tought it should be other way around, pc runs fine now , just a question , wont it damage that older stick running at cl15 instead of cl16 timing. ?

No, worst case you end up with instability.
