Would DDR4 Ram work on this mother board?

[Marvin1415]

I'm looking to upgrade my ram from DDR3 to DDR4 and my PC was prebuilt, I'm just wondering if DDR4 would work on my computer. My PC is an ASUS M32AD.

Nope , it's not compatible.

Your PC uses DDR3 only.
Dual Channel, DDR3 at 1600MHz

no, that PC uses a 4th gen Intel CPU and the only ram compatible with it is DDR3

 

[trampus123]

no it will not

 

[Marvin1415]

Well rip, I guess I will need a new motherboard. Thanks guys!

your CPU will not work with a motherboard that takes DDR4 memory. if you really want to use that kind of ram you would have to get a new motherboard and CPU

Shit nevermind then, thank you.

OP, are you aware that in general the performance difference between DDR3 and DDR4 is small to non-existent? If you're just looking to upgrade overall that's one thing, but it sounds like you want to upgrade just for the sake of being able to use DDR4, which makes no sense.
