It will make all the ram run at the speed of the slowest ram in the pc.

So your 3000mhz ram will run at 2400mhz. 

If you want to overclock your ram. Both ram modules will use the same settings. 

 

Edit: It's recommended to not mix different ram modules in 1 system. If you insist on doing this; try to get modules with the same CAS latency.
