Hi guys, im sorry if this has been discussed before but i couldn't find it if it did.

I have 2x8gb of G.SKill DDR3 1600 (12800) ram in my pc right now. A friend of mine offered to give me his 2x8GB DDR3 2133 to put in my computer since i upgraded to windows 10 and gaming with 8GB is tough. Will this work or not? I know my MB can support up to 64gb, but using two different types of RAM (mhz) is ok or could end up messing things up? Thank you everyone in advance for your answers.
