Corsair Employee Corsair Notepad Posted September 16, 2020 Corsair Employee Share Posted September 16, 2020 If your intent is to have 32GB of system ram it is recommended to purchase a kit at the capacity, speeds, and timings you wish to have that is listed on your motherboard's memory QVL in order to guarantee compatibilitiy. Mixing two of those sticks for 32GB will most likely work at default settings but there is no guarantee they will work with XMP enabled, and you are still hindering your system with a dual channel setup when it supports quad channel memory.

As for the mixing of memory kits, I was not referencing the older memory but your questions regarding mixing two single 16GB kits togther. The product you indicated are single sticks and are not guaranteed to work together for 32GB of memory. It is always recommended that you purchase a single kit that is at the capacity, speeds, and timings you wish to have that is listed as compatible with your motherboard's memory QVL. If you need further assistance with determining a compatible kit that fits your requirements and will be compatible with your motherboard it will probably be best to contact your motherboard manufacturer.
