Manually overclocking 3200 and 3000mhz ram sets to match

[aqualightnin]

Hey guys. Have a slightly older skylake build currently running two 8gb sticks of DDR4 gskill 3000mhz ram and have acquired two nearly identical sticks of 3200 gskill ram from a friend during his upgrade. I believe these are all 2166 with xmp profiles that boost them to 3000 and 3200 respectively. Same advertised CAS timings between the sets just slightly different speeds. I know I can use them all but expecting them to be slowed down to 2166 to match if I just put them in and go, since xmp likely will fail. 

Is it possible to set them all to my current rams 3000mhz with same as current timings and have them just work? Currently at work but thought I'd ask for thoughts before I go home and mess with manual ram overclocking  for the first time. 

 

Thanks for advice and input, excited to play around with these

There's a ton of variables at play with RAM that there isn't really a single answer. It might just work, it might require a bit of tuning, or it might not work at speeds above 2133. Might as well try it and see what happens though.

Thanks! More or less just wanted to verify that it's even theoretically possible in the best situation before I even try it in my situation, if that makes sense.

It is theoretically possible. In practice it's a bit more temperamental, especially since the Skylake memory controller isn't that great with dual rank memory, so I'd be surprised if it just worked, but it's not impossible for it to just work without touching anything else.
