Mixing G.SKILL TridentZ RGB with CORSAIR - Vengeance LPX 16GB

Title really is the question, I currently have 2 TridentZ RGB ddr4 8Gb in my rig at the moment. I'm looking to add more memory into my setup. With the currently prices of Mem, i am looking at buying the Corsair LPX vengeance to add to it. 

Being a complete novice at building the technical aspect of computers, will I have any problems with running both of these at the same time running in dual channel?

Thank you for any help that is given ! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all.

it's a oke... not.

Maybe by chance.

else what google will tell you "Can you mix RAM size? Yes. But it might not be best for performance. It is advisable to use RAM sticks by the same manufacturer, of the same size, and of the same frequency". They need to handle the info in a same matter, either by speed, performance and so on, so it's best if they are the same and in some ways similar.
You can maybe see the CL 16/18 etc of either of them, and speed like 3200 MHz.

If they don't match too well, I guess it can hurt your reason for dual channel?

Mixing kits in any way (even if it's two identical kits) can make XMP profiles at higher frequencies (say 3200MHz) unstable or not work at all. Even manually setting up the timings may not get them running at rated frequency. They will still work at low frequencies though.
