Dual channel with two different sized memory sticks

Hello,

My Dell G5 5590 motherboard supports dual-channel usage and I'm planning to upgrade RAM from 8GB TO 24GB (8GB + 16GB, same memory speed on both sticks). However, I'm not sure whether I'll lose the dual-channel feature and does it slow down my system?

In this upgrade example, will dual-channel work?

I see no consensus on the internet on whether using different-sized RAM sticks will block dual-channel. Some people say that same-sized RAM sticks are needed, although some people say all that is needed is the same speed on both RAM sticks.

Thanks,
