I have two sets of 2x 4gb with different voltages and want to know if I can use them all together

Hello, I'm wondering if you could help me with this before I burn my computer :D

Currently I have 2x 4gb memory and wanted to know if I can put another 2x 4gb memory but with a slightly different voltage, one pair is 1.5V and the other two are 1.65V both sets are hyperX but not the exact same as you can see.

here are some pics of the memories + my mainboard if you need them

I want to know if this can work and help me to get 16gb or I need to do something first and if its dangerous for any of my other components(or if its worth the risk in any case).

thanks in advanced and sorry for any typos english is not my mother tongue.

Yes, the opinion is 100% correct. But BSODs can't damage hardware :) Like I wrote, it's perfectly safe to put all sticks into comp and try - you can't damage anything this way. Whether it will work at all, stable or not, that is completely different story.
Of course, if one of the sticks were broken, that could be different story. But that you can't check without trying too.
1.65 V set can also work at 1.5 V, so you don't risk burning anything, in fact it won't run at 1.65 V until you explicitly set it, either using XMP or manually. However, it can't be determined if they will work together without trying. Considering they are of different speeds and CL, there's a fair chance they won't.

So you recommend me to just try since nothing wrong can happen, right?

I got this opinion on a different forum, what do you think?
