So i was given a 2x8gb set of gskill tridentz rgb but its 2400mhz cl15. I already own the same ram but 3200mhz cl16.
my question is can i use all 4 sticks of ram and have the 2400mhz cl15 match the 3200mhz cl16?
 
They may or may not work together. If they do it will probably be the other way - the 3200mhz will down clock to the 2400mhz or they may go lower than that to reach an agreeable speed between the modules.

Since you already own it, just give it a try and see what you get.
