Can i mix ram?

Mix TEAMGROUP T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4 16GB 3200MHz (PC4-25600) CL16 with Kingston FURY Beast 16GB 3200MHz DDR4 CL16 DIMM





OR to play safe to sell one of the 16gb kits

There is an inherent risk of system instability when it comes to mixing ram even if it's the same speed/CAS latency e.g XMP not working properly, losing dual-channel, BSOD but sometimes it can work just fine, very hard to tell unless you have actually tried it for a long period of time.

If you have time spare to do any potential troubleshooting & testing of memory (e.g using OCCT/TM5) then you can try mixing them together. If you are really busy and don't want to deal with any potential system instability then go for the safer route.

It's fine. Most MBs nowadays are quite stable wrt memory. Since you already have the memory, just install and run a stress test.

you can mix, it should work fine as long as the speeds match

as for xmp.it is not advisable to turn on ,

brand doesn't matter. even same brands use different memory chips. As long as your motherboard supports the speed offered by the different rams
