Generally mixing RAM isnt the best for performance. However, it will still work in most cases. Your faster RAM will just run at the slower settings. If I remember Linus did a video where they did just mix and match a bunch a RAM and everything still worked.

Hi i am planning to upgrade my build from 16gb to 32gb but the ram i have (VENGEANCE® LED 16GB 2 x 8GB)  is not longer available and i was wondering if i can use 2 different ram sticks with the same speed (3.000MT/s) same voltage (1,35V) but a CAS Latency of 16 instead of 15 or is it better to just buy a whole new kit.
