when i was installing my first desktop pc hardwares i forget to use standoffs and i just connect motherboard to case directly :D after my genius assembling work i turn on pc and notice that my motherboard smells burn.. :D

after calling my friend i fund out i must use standoffs, luckily after installing component(hardware) case again and using standoffs my motherboard was OK and everything was good..we all do mistake, no one was born as genius from his mother :)

I doubt that. Your mobo would just down the frequency of the faster module to match the other one. It's always better to buy RAM modules in dual channel or quad channel configurations than separate because they were optimized to work with one another in said configuration. Meaning they have same frequency, latency and timings. If you ask me something else took the slot out of the picture.
