I'm currently using 2 sticks of 8GB RAM (model: "BLE8G4D36BEEAK.M8FE3"), but I want to upgrade by adding another 16GB. The issue is that the original RAM is discontinued. I'm running a B450 Pro4 R2.0 motherboard with a Ryzen 5 5600G processor. Can anyone suggest what other RAM options I can consider that will safely run at 3600MHz?

Another good route is to check out local computer stores instead of big chains. Sometimes they have secondhand RAM that would work perfectly for your setup. It’s also worth asking friends or colleagues if they’ve upgraded recently and might have some ram they’re willing to sell or trade. You might really be surprised by what you find!
Mixing RAM isn't as risky as some people make it sound. If you get a RAM kit that's from the same brand and has similar speed and timings, you should be fine. I mixed different speeds before, like 2666MHz with 3200MHz, and it worked without issues.
Have you checked eBay? There's usually a good selection of RAM there, although it might take some digging to find what you need.
