Motherboard question -

[Avanis]

I've Intel Core i3 6100 and I wanted to buy a motherboard, so I saw this motherboard in my local shop "Gigabyte GA-B150-HD3 Socket 1151" I asked the guy there if it supports DDR3 memory because I saw on the box saying DDR3 so, he said no, only DDR4.

Is this right? Do I need DDR4 for this motherboard?

[strike]The CPU only supports DDR4, so you will need a DDR4 board.[/strike]
Sorry, looks like the CPU supports DDR3L as well.

[strike]That motherboard only supports DDR3, so they will not be compatible.

Looks like the board supports DDR3L and the i3 6100 is on the CPU supported list for that board, so they should work.

Oh, but when I asked the guy there, he said that this motherboard only supports DDR4 lol, so this motherboard will not work if I buy DDR4?

Click on "CPU support list", and you will see the proc as compatible.

it's not about the cpu in this case it is about what ram it uses. here is the spec sheet for the mobo http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5556#sp

it only supports ddr3 or ddr3l ram and DOES NOT support ddr4. they still make a few skylake mobo's that use ddr3 and this happens to be one of them.

so if you get this mobo it will have to be paired with ddr3 ram
