2x8gb vs 3x8gb Sticks If The Third Stick Is Slightly Different

Backstory:

I just bought 2x8GB Kingston HyperX Fury Blues from my friend

https://www.kingston.com/datasheets/HX316C10F_8.pdf

 

and before I was running 1x8GB Kingston HyperX blu

https://www.kingston.com/datasheets/khx1600c10d3b1_8g.pdf

 

I always thought my blu was 1600MHz because of the 1600 in the in the part code but i am not sure now because it says "DDR3-1600 CL10 SDRAM" in the description on the pdf but in the same description it says latency DDR3-1333 timing of 9-9-9 which makes me think its 1333MHz

 

Anyway I have installed the 2x8GB deffinetly 1600Mhz fury in slot 1+2 (my slot orientation is 1324 (1+2 grey 3+4 black))

But I was wondering if I install the 8GB of blu in the third slot will it bring the speed of the other 2 down if the blu is in fact slower

The Blu seems to have 1600MHz CL10 as a XMP profile, not a JEDEC profile like the Fury. Make sure to enable XMP in your UEFI, and you should be fine.
