Mixing memory

Hey guys, I know mixing memory isn't really recommended, but I was wondering how much trouble I could potentially run into by putting this kit http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/kingston-memory-hx318c10fwk216 and this kit http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/kingston-memory-hx318c10fbk216 together?

 

From what I see, they're the same except they haven't been tested together.

 

Thoughts?
