I currently have a Dual-Channel Kit of these DDR4 Modules.
https://www.gskill.com/en/product/f4-3200c16d-8grk
Now i wantet to upgrade to 24 GB by adding a dual channel kit of 8GB sticks.
The Ram-Sticks in this List
https://www.gskill.com/en/finder?cat=31&series=0&prop_3=3200MHz&prop_14=DDR4&prop_2=16GB+%288GBx2%29&prop_4=16-16-16-36-2N&prop_1=1.35v
have the same latency, speed and voltage.
Is it possible to run these Two kits in seperated dual channels?

Solution
It might work, but it also might not. They are put into kits for a reason, and even RAM of the same size, latency, speed, voltage and manufacturer may not work together. Some people do it and it's fine, and others say they can't. If you don't want to take the risk of it not working, I suggest buying in kits.
