I recently experienced a ram failure, so Amazon issued me a refund allowing me to purchase a replacement. I’m currently using three sticks of Crucial Ballistix RGB 3200mhz cl16. The only available replacement is a non-RGB version from the same brand, which is sold out as a single 8GB stick on every website. All timing and voltage specs match, so it should work fine. I’m curious if anyone else has had similar issues or solutions. I’ve listed the part names below for your reference. This post was written mostly for my own peace of mind. I made this update after successfully getting my old stick back online.

It should function without issues; the same PCB is used, and because it's Crucial, the memory chip remains consistent (provided you purchased the original RAM die within the last four years)
