Can i use two different speeds of ddr4 ram? Currently i am using 2133mhz - 2x4gb and i have some 2666mhz 2x4gb lying about. So i was going to mix them both. Will it work? Or damage them?

It should work, the higher clock stick will run at the lower clock.

Though mixing RAM like this can be bad for stability.

 Almost as cool as my temps
