I have 8GB ADATA XPG 2133Mhz DDR4 RAM in my PC, I bought 8GB more, but I accidentally bought 2400MHz instead of 2133MHz, and it may be too late to cancel my order. Can I mix the two? It's the same exact brand and everything. My MOBO is 2133MHz so won't it just slow it down to that?

If you can not find an exact same kit anymore, you can do this to reduce the possibility of not gewtting incompatible kit:
look at the one you have, check the voltage, frequency and latency.
Try to match the voltage and get the one with the similar possible frequency and latency like the one you have.
Brand and type do not really matter.
Keep your fingers crossed.

Mixing ram could be a problem especially with the speed and voltage difference which ruin one of the sticks. even if they were the same speed the frequency and voltage need to be the same as well which is another problem. Although the idea isn't impossible as you seen the person above this comment has had great luck with his ram.

They are also the same memory technology and voltage. only difference is the speed, i'm guessing it should work, but who knows. i'll keep updated once they arrive because they have already shipped even though i requested cancellation.

I am having a similar problem the 2133 mhz version of my current ram is discontinued the 2400mhz version is all I can find. I checked and it uses the same voltage and pretty much everything else the only difference I see is the clock speeds. Is it a good idea to just buy the 2400mhz version?
