can I use different rams?

ok so I am able to buy 4 different 16gb 3200mhz RAM sticks.

They are all completely different makes.

Would they work together? Somebody here must have tried it? If so what happened?

They'll run at the lowest CAS/RAS etc latency of what you put in. Lowest common denominator.

99% of time it will be fine, however occasionally you do get odd issues where nothing you do will make the system stable.
If you are overclocking however, then it can be a lot more of an issue and cause instability.

Oh, well my mb takes dual ram, so what if I just have two different sets?

Say 16gb x2 (3600mhz) and
4gbx2 (2400mhz) in the other?

It'll all run at 2400mhz.
