Yes, you can definitely upgrade your RAM. The Asus EX-B365M-V supports up to 16GB of DDR4 RAM, so adding another 32GB or 16GB should work well. Just ensure the new sticks are compatible with your motherboard model and follow the correct installation steps.
Preferably you'd trade in your old RAM stick and upgrade to a new 2x8 or 2x16GB package. This avoids compatibility issues and usually keeps costs comparable. Yes, it should function, though setting it up for dual-channel performance can be tricky, and achieving decent speeds will be challenging.
It seems the board was released before 32GB modules gained popularity, and memory QVLs typically don’t get updated much after launch. Running 32GB modules might not offer much advantage since you already have enough RAM—especially if your system is limited by other factors like the 9400F chip. The BIOS might also be set to handle only up to 32GB, which could lead to problems. In short, it’s probably safer to upgrade to a standard kit rather than risking performance or compatibility.
It suggests adding up to two 16GB sticks (total 32GB) or two 32GB DIMMs. As RONOTHAN mentioned, 32GB is quite a lot. According to the manual, you can set different memory amounts in ChannelA and ChannelB. The system uses the smaller channel size for dual-channel mode, and any extra from the larger channel is handled separately. Running two 16GB sticks also provides dual-channel benefits.
