GSkill Turbulence 1600 and 2000

[razorkit]

I know a decent amount of computers but am at a loss on this one and cannot seem to find a clear answer anywhere. My mobo supports up to 24 GB total.

My question if I have the ram that i have in my mobo now G.Skill Turbulence 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) and the mobo supports triple channel would i be able to put it 3 more sticks with G.SKILL Trident+ Turbulence II Series 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2000 (PC3 16000)


If my thinking is correct it should just assume the speeds of the slower current memory... am I correct with this thought?

Current Ram:

Would below work in same system?

This is my current build:

Intel Core i7-930 Bloomfield 2.8GHz LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Desktop
Noctua for Intel CPU Cooler NH-U12P SE2
G.Skill Turbulence 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
ZOTAC AMP! ZT-40102-10P GeForce GTX 480 (Fermi) 1536MB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16
Kingston SSDNow V Series SNV425-S2BD/64GB
Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5
CORSAIR HX Series CMPSU-1000HX 1000W ATX12V 2.2
AZZA Solano 1000 Black/Black Japanese SECC Steel/Metal mesh in front ATX Full Tower

If this does not work does anyone have any suggestions on what would be? I am looking to put 12 GB in total

Thanks to anyone who responds

I think it will just run the 2000 ram at 1600 speed.
