Yes you can run them together, it should set timings based on the lesser of the two

I have two RAM sticks that runs on different frequency and timings.

 

CPU: Ryzen 5 1600

Motherboard: MSI A320M PRO-VH PLUS

RAMs in question:
G.Skill Ripjaws V, 8gb / 2400mhz / CL15-15-15 / 1.2V
Hyper X Fury, 16gb / 2666 / CL16-18-18 / 1.2V

My question is, can I run them both together on dual channel?
Can I overclock or downclock one stick to match the other, or do they match each others speed and timings automatically based on the slower stick?

Thanks!
