All of your RAM will only work at a single specific speed determined by you or your motherboard. In this case, it is 1600MHz. No harm can be done to your components. If you experience crashes, blue screens or instability in general, drop the speed to 1333MHz.

When mixing RAMs of different brands, sizes and models, there are no guarantees that everything will work without issues - you will have to test yourself and see.
