Hi! I had 2 sticks of 8gb crucial DDR4 2133mhz memory. Today I sold one of the sticks and now I have only 8gb RAM. My question is: If I buy a 4 gb stick with the same company, will it work properly with the other 8gb stick that I have? (12GB Ram)
Also, if the 4gb stick is 2400Mhz and the 8gb one is 2133mhz, can I overclock the 8gb to 2400mhz (to match the other one)? Or I will need to run them both on 2133?
Thanks and sorry for my bad english!

it is hard to predict the outcome when you mix and match stick that may have different Speed, CAS latency, timings,voltage, Brand, etc.
Most of the times a computer will run just fine when mixing different brands, sizes and speeds. Motherboards, automatically, underclock the faster RAM stick to match the other, so you wouldn't run into any issues.
I have encounter times when the motherboard just refuses to work with different brands or speeds.
