Can I mix 2x8gb with 2x16gb of same ram

[fjw79]

im using my setup for 3ds max scenes, some of which are exceeding th 16gb I currently have (2x8gb sticks) can I mix what I have with 2x16gb of the same memory type? If so is there a certain configuration I should follow or can I just stick them in the 2 empty slots I have?

Thanks
James

OK thanks, thought this might be the case but hoped to be able to use what I already have

Can I permanently damage anything if they’re not stable or will I just get warning and have to remove 2 of the sticks?
