[SOLVED] Will DDR4 3200 ram be compatible with a z690 DDR5 motherboard?

[TheNewbie6]

I mean would it work fine? Will there be any problems or anything to be careful about? Or it won't work in the first place?

Link to this specific motherboard?

And always, go to the manufacturers website to look.

For the Gigabyte:

No DDR4

For the MSI:

Again, no.

Different levels of RAM are slotted differently.
DDR4 physically won't fit in a DDR5 slot.

I am sorry to bother you but do you know any DDR4 rams that will work on those motherboards?

Or any other z690 motherboards DDR5 that support DDR4 rams?
Thx in advance

DDR5 motherboards support DDR5 only. DDR4 is not compatible with any of them.

For DDR4 support you need Z690 DDR4 motherboard.
This one for example:

As said, the slots for DDR4 and DDR5 are physically different.

If you want to use DDR4 RAM, you need to find a DDR4 compatible motherboard, that is compatible with the CPU you wish to use.
Same with DDR5.
