DDR4 RAM on H81M-S

[rudrashukla68]

Will my gigabyte H81M-S support DDR4 RAM ?

Nope. You can only drop in DDR3-1600MHz ram's in there. Anything higher than that frequency will be downclocked to 1600MHz, depending on your CPU as well).

It's not just a question of speed. The board supports DDR3. DDR4 will not be either physically or electrically compatible.
