No, DDR3 ram will not work with that set up, you'll need DDR4

Chugalug_ · Jun 21, 2017

No, no, and no.
8GB DDR3 isn't compatible with that CPU or motherboard, you also need a 200 series mobo.
A 1050 can be had for a bit more. Get this, hands down the best value.
Save if you need to, but get the mobo now, it's on sale, and a fantastic deal.

Cyrus Castrodes :

Chugalug_ :

... without case, PSU, and storage... Also no OS, Keyboard, Mouse, Monitor, or sound system/headset.

Cyrus Castrodes · Jun 21, 2017

what if i try to put it
they say it will work
but theres a risk

kaptainkuftic · Jun 21, 2017

Cyrus Castrodes :

Nope, you're trying to put a square peg in a round hole here. The DDR3 memory will not even fit into the slot for DDR4

Cyrus Castrodes · Jun 21, 2017

is there a way ddr3 can work?
i find google it says it will work but will low voltage
or motherboard?
and second question
is my ddr3 will work on ddr3l motherboards?

i cant buy new cause im broke poor af boii

superninja12 · Jun 21, 2017

Cyrus Castrodes :

The answer is the opposite of yes.

I really dont know how to put it.

kaptainkuftic · Jun 21, 2017

Cyrus Castrodes :

This should help: http://www.differencebetween.info/sites/default/files/images_articles_d7_1/ddr4-vs-ddr3.jpg

You literally cannot put ddr3 into a ddr4 slot. The pins won't line up to allow you to do that.

ddr3l is laptop memory. That won't fit either: http://www.legitreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/DDR3L_mix.jpg

Cyrus Castrodes · Jun 21, 2017

this mobo i will buy is
Motherboard:biostar h110m
it can support ddr3l ram
but not ddr3
and support g4560 and other intel

if i put my 8gb ddr3 1600mhz ram into this ddr3l motherboard
it will work or not?
or it will work and go full yolo and risk

superninja12 · Jun 21, 2017

dude It will not work ddr3l is something different.

also you need a bios update, just save up more moeny untill you can buy a b250 motherboard with ddr4 ram.

sell that ddr3 on ebay.

Cyrus Castrodes · Jun 21, 2017

demnnn
im saving money to play games at mid or high settings in 60fps
i live in third world country so yeah very low on budget

my current cpu is very old
the only thing is new is rx460
processor:amd athlon x2 245
ram:8gb ddr3 1600mhz
gpu:rx460 2gb

can play gta 5 low costum settings 800x600 at 40-60fps
i cant really use my videocard at full potential because of processor
if someone can donate me i will be glad
old ram or mobo

kaptainkuftic · Jun 21, 2017

Cyrus Castrodes :

If you can find a AMD Phenom II X4 965 for cheap, you may be able to get by a bit longer on that mobo/ram/gpu

You'd be looking at around 65 USD new

superninja12 · Jun 21, 2017

just get a fx 6300 for 50 dollars or less.

helpstar · Jun 21, 2017

it will physically not fit into the slot

http://www.akshatblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/ddr4-vs-ddr3.jpg

The G4560 has a DDR3L (low voltage) controller as well, but you would need a DDR3 "L" RAM, which you probably don´t have, and a motherboard with the correct DDR3L Dimm Slots.

Only B150, H110, H170, Z170 boards are out there and would need an update before installing the G4560, or these won´t boot at all.

So you see, it´s much more easy to sell your DDR3 RAM and get DDR4-2400MHz RAM

kaptainkuftic · Jun 21, 2017

superninja12 :

That's AM3+, does that work on AM3 platforms?

Cyrus Castrodes · Jun 21, 2017

i want to buy fx 8350
but its 120+ watts
my motherboard is only 95watts

Chugalug_ · Jun 21, 2017

Please just listen to what I said OP, from what you're saying you haven't read a single word I said.
100 series boards wont even boot, and ddr3 won't work.

superninja12 · Jun 21, 2017

kaptainkuftic :

no am3 works in am3+ not the other way around.

ooh I see my mistake , keen observation kaptain.

shrapnel_indie · Jun 21, 2017

what is the specific model of BioStar H110M? There are several models. What brand and model is your RAM?

The BioStar H110MHV3 Ver. 7.x will support DDR3L RAM, but probably won't safely run regular DDR3 RAM (voltages could burn out the memory controller) It would also require the latest UEFI BIOS as well. Will yours work? Give us the brand and model number that is located on a sticker attached to the RAM modules. http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/mb/introduction.php?S_ID=832#cpusupport

An 8xx chip is also a terrible idea, runs hot and performs like a turd on a skateboard with a dutch oven attached to it.

Cyrus Castrodes · Jun 21, 2017

my currently motherboard is asrock n68c gs fx
it support am3+

kaptainkuftic · Jun 21, 2017

superninja12 :

Haha, close one. I've never tried either way, nor have I seen anything about compatibility between AM3 and AM3+, so I figured I'd ask

G4560 on my 8gb DDR3 RAM?
