Hey there. So I have decided to build a new pc several months ago when the pentium g4560 was released.. And ofc i bought it first, and then I bought 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz without knowing that this cpu dosnt support this type of memory...

So by any chance, is there a way, by reducing the voltage of my 1.5v to 1.3v RAM and put all of it in this MOBO

And be able to run it? I know that its better to buy ddr4 but I am out of money now.. And that, it's gonna damage the cpu and lower its lifespam..

The motherboard and cpu are compatible, but that motherboard only accepts DDR4, not DDR3. The notch in the ram sticks are at a different spot, so DDR3 won't fit on that board.

You could look for a motherboard that is compatible with the G4560 and uses DDR3L, like the ASUS B150-PRO D3. If you use DDR3 instead of DDR3L, it won't work. You could try lowering the voltage, but I don't think the RAM will run at lower voltage.
