DDR 3 RAM on a h110m motherboard: is it possible?

[TheMirageOfDeceit]

1)can I use a 1333mhz DDR3 8gb RAM stick on a gigabyte H110m motherboard?

2)if so, can I pair it with a DDR4 2133mhz 8gb RAM stick?

THE H110M specifications clearly indicate DDR4 ram (DDR3 Ram is not designed to fit in DDR4 slots anyways)

Supported RAM: Max Size32 GB, Technology: DDR4, Bus Clock: 2133 MHz, Registered or Buffered or Unbuffered, Features: Dual channel memory architecture

Gigabyte H110m - is not a precise model number.
There are several Gigabyte motherboards that support DDR3L - low voltage version of DDR3
(use of DDR3 is not recommended, since it can damage CPU in the long run):

• GA-H110M-S2V DDR3
  GA-H110M-DS2V DDR3
  GA-H110M-S2H DDR3
  GA-H110M-HD3 DDR3
  GA-H110M-H DDR3
  GA-H110M-S2PH DDR3
  GA-H110M-S2 DDR3
  GA-H110M-S2PV DDR3
  GA-H110M-DS2 DDR3

he mentioned pairing it wih 2133 DDR4 which told me which board It was. a LGA1151

So - what is the precise model name of the board in question?
Gigabyte has ~30 different H110 motherboard models.

There are LGA1151 H110m variants that support DDR3L and that support DDR4.

However in the beginning at least, DDR3L caused some weird issues and was generally less stable than DDR4.
If you don't already have DDR3L sticks laying around go for DDR4.
Regular DDR3 fries the CPU
