Mix Kingstone RAM

Ram is sold in kits for a reason.
Ram from the same vendor and part number can be made up of differing manufacturing components over time.
Some motherboards can be very sensitive to this.
That is why ram vendors will NOT support ram that is not bought in one kit.
Although, I think the problem has lessened with the newer Intel chipsets. Still,
it is safer to get what you need in one kit.

If you want guaranteed support, buy a new supported 16gb kit.

Most of the time though, that is not necessary.
Buy a second kit with the same voltage, speed and cas numbers.
It is likely to work, but no guarantees.
