Just put the ripjaws in storage and get some more corsair. But I mean if you really want to use both I guess you can try but you'll have to...

No I don't think you can. Looks like that Corsair RAM is 2400MHz while the Ripjaws is 1866MHz. Find some 2400MHz Ripjaws or 1866MHz Corsair and they should work fine together. Just need to make sure they're the same frequency and also both DDR3.

Maybe but a lot of people have problems trying to downclock their RAM. Up to you if you want to mess about with that.
