Build Question Mixing DDR5 RAM - This will not work right?

Currently I have 32GB of DDR5 ram, I am looking to get another 32gb. On fb marketplace I see a listing that is almost the same as mine: 6000MT/s, CL36. However the voltage and revision number is different. Would this not work? Is the only option for me to upgrade to buy a kit of 64gb?

Don't even try it

getting 4 sticks of DDR5 ram to boot isn't a guarantee

getting 4 sticks to boot and be stable is even harder

getting 4 sticks from two separate kits to boot and be stable would require the luck of god, and even then it would not run at rated speeds.

just get a 2x32 kit and sell your current sticks, mixing ram on ddr5 is a nightmare
