Hello, this is my first post here, I need help build together 4 sticks of ram of the same brand and same latency.

Is it possible to build together 2x4gb and 2x8gb?
I have already the 2x4gb and I found an offer online of the 2x8gb, I checked the latency and frequency in the official Corsair site and they're similiar to both the models, so I'm planning to get them and use 24gb on my pc, I don't want to buy 32gb of new rams, 24 are quite enough for my use.

Thanks to all!

All you can do is try...it doesn't matter, even if the sticks are the same exact model made at the same exact time, that's why the manufacturers test sticks together and pair up ones that play nice in a single package. I've gotten identical packages straight from the manufacturers that wouldn't play - or they might play in one rig and not another. See my article Fiction items 2 and 6:

Possibly, no guarantees, they might play, might not. Best to get full amount in a single package, that way all are tested and guaranteed to play nice. With mixed sticks, if they don't want to play might be able to help them with timing/voltage adjustments, but again, no guarantees ;)

This is a screenshot of the description of both the modules.
The timings, voltage and frequencies are the same.
