Question CPU and Memory Type

[Gimpy0215]

Purchased lga2011-v3 motherboard with ddr3 memory socket RAM slots. Was looking to use xeon E5-2640V3 which has a lga2011-v3 socket but looking up the cpu it say DDR4 memory but the motherboard has DDR3 memory. Can someone tell me if this will work or not. Thanks

return the board.
x99/cpu should only support ddr4

While Intel may only officially support DDR4 on its newer chips, they also non-officially support LPDDR3 to accommodate OEMs. This is why you see oddball Chinese boards that offer some unusual CPU-RAM-chipset combinations that don't make sense based on Intel's specs but actually work.
