"CMX4GX3M1A1600CL" isn't a valid part number, that could have been your problem.

You can mix and match RAM

You have to make sure their both running under spec latency and same speed 1600Mhz and manually adjust the timings so they match. Make them both run same speed and latencies and your set. Mixing RAM nothing wrong with it as long as you set proper voltage to handle your sticks and proper latency numbers and 1600mhz. No need to buy same brand.. good luck
