Hey i have 2 sticks of 1600mhz 4gb corsair ram and i want to add two more 4gb sticks but they are 1866mhz.
will this blow my pc or something??.

It won't blow anything, but the system will likely not boot up, or will work fine, maybe with issues like BSoD, adding non paired sticks is a gamble, and unless its exactly the same model, there's every possiblity it'll not work out.

No, it won't blow your PC

Either you will get pleasant beeps and PC won't boot or you will end with PC booting but with both RAMs set at stock clock i.e 1333MHz. It is not advisable at all. Better grab similar stick like your existing one or you may face compatibility issues.

You may have problems but I think the faster sticks set to run at the slower timing will work fine.

What mobo/CPU, generally if they boot together it will be to 1333 (guessing the mobo's default), then to try and run at 1600 or better will require manual setup
