Pentium G4560 with DDR3

[raygg.lol]

Short question, can I use DDR3 (8GB) with G4560 on ASUS B150M C D3? I noticed that G4560 does support DDR3L but I'm not sure if it does support DDR3 or not. Why did I consider DDR3? Because DDR3 are a LOT more cheaper than DDR4 atm.

The motherboard supports DDR3L low voltage ram only.
It is not likely to be any less expensive than ddr4.

It is probably better to go with DDR4 which is what all new intel and ryzen processors will be using.

Do you already have parts?
Or is this part of a prospective build?

No, I don't have the parts yet. In my country (Indonesia), 8GB DDR3 priced at around $40 / Rp. 600.000 and 8GB DDR4 are round $60 / Rp. 900.000. Btw, I think ASUS B150M-C D3 does support non-ECC 1.5v DDR3, but to prevent system instability, it's recommended to use DDR3L or DDR3 with a voltage lower than 1.5v.

DDR4 mobo ($47) + 8GB DDR4 ($60) = $107
DDR3 mobo ($40) + 8GB DDR3 ($40) = $80

My budget is really tight, every penny matters.

Interesting.
I went to the Kingston ram selection app and entered your motherboard.
The only supported ram was ddr3l.

Likely, I made a mistake.

Does indicate support for DDR3.

From a performance point of view, DDR3 and DDR4 perform about the same.

Yeah that's right, the performance difference is barely noticeable, but the price gap is quite large (for me). I'm still a student :v

Nevermind, I found a $41 8GB DDR3L
