Hi,
I have 4x 16gb DDR5 RAM and all are 6000mhz but,
2x16gb have CL 40-40-40 (XPG )
while the other
2x16gb have CL 36-36-36-96 (G.skill flare)

Can I use all 4x16gb together? and should I use 4?
Or should I just use 2x16gb (total 32gb)

PC is purely for games but I play multiple games and some are running at the background while I play other game + some open browsers/twitch streams at the side.
 
Thumb rule;
Don't mix and match rams. So my answer to you would be don't mix the two kits together. Unless you want to lose hair or want them to turn grey when instability comes about.

Stick to one kit, or the same brand but essentially that they are identical in every way.

What is the make and model of your motherboard and processor in your build? Mentioning your CPU will help in case we/you run into clearance issues with said cooler in your build, i.e, not suggesting rams with tall heatspreaders.

I see, thanks ill just use 1 set then...
Tbh 32gb is enough for me but I don't know what to do with the extra one that's why I'm asking if its fine to use them together
And I don't have any issue in clearance with both kit

My Case: H7 flow
CPU cooler: LT720
CPU: r5 7600
 
Make and model of your motherboard? AMD's AM5 platform, huh? So you should look for DDR5-6000MHz or slightly higher but tight latency ram kits that are advertised to have AMD's E.X.P.O on them(package). Ryzen always liked fast ram and tight latencies.

I helped build a system for a friend located in WA, made him get Corsair Dominator Titanium First edition's, 2x32GB kit, DDR5-6600MHz. No instabilities to mention of, on an MSI B650I Edge WiFi but his has a 7800X3D on the socket.

I already bought the RAM and because of some certain issue I now have 4x16gb DDR5 ram but different brand/CL timing
2x16gb DDR5 6000mhz CL 40-40-40 (Adata XPG )
2x16gb DDR5 6000mhz CL 36-36-36-96 (G.skill flarex5)

that's why was asking if its fine to use them together.
And I actually have extra mobo also 😥
