Check if boosting RAM will fit this setup. The kit should work with your configuration, but ensure compatibility between the RAM type and motherboard. No issues expected if everything matches specifications.

Match the RAM to the precise model. The clocks vary between the two units.

Most DDR4 desktop RAM comes in identical sizes and shapes, so fitting it should be straightforward. Refer to your motherboard manual to confirm availability, though compatibility checks from PCPartPicker might also help.

Because of varying speeds, it might need to run slower (using the slowest stick) for stability. It could also be less stable with four sticks, as not all older Ryzen CPUs support that setup. For best results, try to get the same configuration again or purchase a fresh 32GB kit.

The board features a sturdy PCB, making it capable of supporting four dims with your 3700X unit. Regarding compatibility, combining dims can sometimes be unpredictable, though it generally functions around 75% of the time. Personally, I’d choose to proceed, and if issues arise, returning for a refund would be acceptable.

Offer used 2666 crucial/micron 8GB bare PCBs for around $20-25 on eBay. Local prices might be lower (C9BJZ/D9WSM models ~$30-$35). This upgrade adds dual rank, boosting bandwidth by about 20% compared to single rank. Consider a slightly slower option with better timing and plug-and-play setup thanks to consistent micron quality. If you can't find the exact part, a 2x16 kit works fine—mix and match models. For cheaper alternatives, go for 3200 CL16 or 3600 CL18. You won’t need to worry about ram topology until you move to slower speeds like 4400.
