So after fixing my pc, I find out that I still have some ddr4 ram sticks lying around. Then I realized my crap motherboard only have 2 ram slots. Is there any way to add more ram slots??

Specs:
Ryzen 5 3500x
B450m PRO-m2 max
RX570 4g
Corsair VS550(orange)
2x8gb ddr4 ram,single channel

No, that can't be done.

Also, mixing RAM sticks that are purchased seperately often don't work well togheter and will most likely cause you a lot of trouble with stability issues, if the motherboard / cpu will boot at all. This is true even if the RAM is exactly same make and model, with identical specs, but bought seperately.

Always buy RAM in "matched kits" with the capacity and amount of total RAM modules you need.

... adding one bit of info. Don't consider your motherboard 'crap' just because it has only 2 DIMM sockets. First: as someone noted, that's all you need for dual channel memory. But more importantly, one DIMM socket per channel can result in a more stable memory configuration. Especially useful if seeking higher overclocks, but also if the memory you're starting out with is dodgy or mismatched.
