So I have 16 gigs on trident z rgb 2x8

and wanted to upgrade to 32 gigs by adding 16 and was wondering if I got the same ram but it was confirmed to be a different die if I would have any problems the kit I have now is 

‎F4-3600C18D-16GTZR

 


If I were to get 

F4-3600C17D-16GTZR

Would I be fine ?

Yep

 

Most of the time if you mix and match ram you are usually fine unless your board is picky with ram

 

I run mixed 800mhz ddr2 sticks and they are fine up to 950mhz

 

Though using all 4 slots will mean more load on the imc so reduced ram ocability and higher cpu temps, but it should be fine since if im not mistaken 4 ram sticks = 4 ranks so that will also improve your ram performance slightly

There's no guarantee, but it should be alright. The biggest risk is that XMP won't work properly since those kits have different profiles. You may have to manually input timings and speeds, and in that case, you may only be able to get the CL 18 timings to work.
