You would get a beep code and no post, or the motherboard would only run off one stick.

I'm running three different sticks of memory in my system, it will still work perfectly fine if you go by the lowest common denominator if you for some brilliant reason mismatch ram specs. Match speed, timings, and voltage (not too necessary but it helps compatibility) and you should have zero problems.

Oh shit lol I dont think I read the topic right. I thought he meant put two sticks side by side as in fill in the first two slots on a motherboard from left to right.

Even that won't have any problems, the sticks will just run in single channel mode.

the RAM will go down to the lowest speed of any stick.

 

basically, if you pair an 1866Mhz and a 1600Mhz stick, both will run at the slowest speed, which is 1600Mhz

same with timings. (although IIRC these are per channel, so 2 channels can run at different speeds)

 

the important thing is that they will most likely work.

...what would happen if i put two diffrent ddr4 sticks side by side on a motherboard.

It will most likely run, but may not OC well. If you have the sticks put them in and see. Nothing will catch fire.
