When I built my pc I bought 16gb (2x8) of ram. For the Christmas season I decided to gift myself 32gb (2x16). Both sets are ddr4 and run at 3200mt/s but are of different brands. Is it okay to put them in the other two ram slots or should I replace the old ones?

    I did this with the same brand and speeds etc. and still had to reduce the timings from 3200 to 3000 to get things to run at all. Worst case, you’ll only have 32GB instead of 48.
