Hi i want at least 12gb of ram in my pc but the memory i have is not in production anymore(8 gb corsair vengeance lpx 2800mhz CMK8GX4M2A2800C16) as far as i know, but i see there is another ram from the same series( corsair vengeance lpx 4gb 2400mhz CMK4GX4M1A2400C14) is it ok if i mix them?

Specs:
Asus prime x370-a
Ryzen 3 1200
8 gb corsair vengeance lpx 2800mhz (CMK8GX4M2A2800C16)
Asus gtx 1060 6 gb
evga 600w

First, mixing ram not sold as a kit is unpredictable - it will work or not, and you will not know before you try. Second, if you mix sticks with different speeds, you will be limited to the speed of lower ones - unless you try to overclock it, but that adds another layer of compatibility issues (so it is less likely to work when mixing ram then when done alone).
