there shouldn't be a problem then and you shouldn't lose too much performance (unless the subtimings are slightly different) your faster ram will just be hooked to your slowest rams speed and timings

So if i bought another stick with the same 3600 mhz and cl18 its ok if its a different brand i would just get a slight loss of performance

if its the same speed the latency may be ever so slightly worse (because of the slightly changed subtimings
