Will mixing DDR5 5200MHz and 4800MHz RAM affect performance in my Nitro VN15-51 laptop?

I have Nitro NV15-51 laptop with 16GB DDR5 RAM and I want to upgrade to 32GB, the installed ram is 5200MHz and I can find only 4800Mhz, does it affect the efficiency or anything else when I have 16GM 5200Mhz + 16GB 4800Mhz working together?

[Edited the thread to add issue detail to the title]

    Mixing 5200MHz and 4800MHz RAM in your Nitro NV15-51 laptop is possible, but it will affect performance. When different RAM speeds are used together, the system will default to the speed of the slower module—meaning your 5200MHz RAM will run at 4800MHz. This can lead to a slight decrease in efficiency, but it generally won't cause major issues unless you're running memory-intensive applications.

    For optimal performance and stability, it's recommended to use matching RAM modules with the same speed, brand, and latency. If you can find a 5200MHz 16GB module, that would be ideal. However, if 4800MHz is your only option, your laptop will still function, just at the lower speed.
