DDR3 is very low speed and almost always is fine to mix. I ran eight (8) different DDR3 sticks in an old Xeon just to prove a point one time. They only ran at DDR3-1333, but they were perfectly stable at that speed.

Any ram kits should be mix-matchable without issues as long as they run on the lowest supported jedec profile

Will using three ram chips affect games performance?

u/VoraciousGorak

Yeah, you'll get better performance in anything that makes your computer use more than 8GB RAM.

if u want your pc to crash yes
