As Young-E stated, you have the MLK board, which means that it was designed to support additional/newer procs that were made available during the life of the R730xd. if you have this board, I highly suggest you stay with the same part number board to avoid issues.

Hello @jwsl224, welcome back to our community!
So, you seem to be using this.
Part #:72T6D
Part Desc.:ASSY,PWA,PLN,R730/XD,FXCN.MLK
Subs.:WCJNT
This is a MLK mainboard so yes please find something that's compatible.
"MLK = Mid Life Kicker
Signifies a newer revision of the model or minor upgrades to the model specs. There isn't typically enough difference to change model name, but can add some additional functionality - maybe additional chassis options (more drives, more drive options, etc.), TPM, additional card/expansion options, NVMe options, etc."
