1. its likely that they will both run at 1600mhz cl10 at 1.5v. Since when u mixing ram,the weaker one serve as reference.
2. No, dont mix them ,save u the trouble. Sometimes, even 2 pairs of exact model ram will not play together.(Quote from Tradersman) not to mention 2 difference brand.
3. I highly think that 8gb 1866 cl9 will have better performance than 24gb 1600 cl10

I wonder how it'll look like. They might not play nicely with each other. You'll be needing to manually configure them in the BIOS to have the same timings and clock speeds. Would you take the risk? ;)

I'd recommend to get the same pair of two sticks. Settle on one and you'll be ok. It'll also make the internals of your system look good with it's uniform memory modules.
