DDR3 Ram with LGA 1151

[Letten]

Hi, I need a motherboard that supports DDR3 ram and LGA 1151, I saw the z170m, will that support Kaby Lake?

Its for a friend and he needs a DDR3 Motherboard and needs to pair it with a G4560, any help? thanks

Question from Letten : "DDR3 + 1151 (Kaby Lake)"

Hi, my friend has a G4560 and DDR3 ram and we need to make this work, I saw the z170m motherboard, is that compatible with Kaby Lake? or I need to update the BIOS? thanks, any other motherboards?

You can't 'make it work' skylake, on a few mobo's, supported DDR3L (A low voltage version of DDR3). So even if you got a DDR3L 100 series board, and got the bios updated to accept kaby lake, then you'd still have the wrong RAM.

Kaby Lake does not support DDR3.

You may find some that supported DDR3L.

G4560
Supported memory: DDR3L-1333, DDR3L-1600, DDR4-2133, DDR4-2400

I don't know what "z170m motherboard" you are referring to. That sounds like a partial model name.

DDR3 models are no longer produced. As a result, prices are double, triple the original price. It would likely cost you more to go with DDR3 than DDR4.

There is a cheap z170m board that the seller updates the bios to support the G4560, its DDR3 motherboard, it has a lot of sales, it should work...

And we're saying it won't. But you say it will, let us know how you get on, be aware that the memory controller is on the cpu, if you try to use ddr3 voltages on it, you'll need a new cpu before long.
