As long as they are properly channeled they should since they are the same speed and latency.
If anything, it'll just cause random system shut downs and you'll know the problem.

the question is can i use them both in my PC without any problem they are both same speed 3000mhz just the ram with led is 2x8gb and the old one without led is 2x4gb

Since both RAM modules use the same CL(15) and share the same frequency (3000mhz), both should work together.

do you think differences in timing can make your performance drop ?

They all will work as the lowest RAM installed

you mean at 2133 ?

If the sets are the same there will be no change, if they have different timing and speed they will all work as the lowest set
