⚠️ Important Compatibility Notes
Because this board only supports DDR4, you’ll need DDR4 memory instead of DDR3.
If you want to use older DDR3 RAM, you’d need a motherboard with DDR3 DIMM slots (e.g., Intel 8th/9th‑Gen boards like Z370, B360, etc.).
For best performance, choose DDR4 kits rated for the speeds listed above — e.g., DDR4‑2666 or DDR4‑2933 (depending on your CPU).
