Even though some MSI motherboards are compatible with DDR3L and will even work with regular DDR3 memory, we highly recommend to use DDR4 Boost to ensure maximum stability and compatibility without the risk of damaging your CPU. Intel and Tom’s Hardware Guide state that the CPU’s integrated memory controller (IMC) is not made for the higher voltage and using this kind of memory for a longer period of time might even harm your Skylake CPU. It is important to know that Skylake CPU’s are not compatible with regular DDR3 modules. The new Intel Skylake platform is meant to be used with DDR4 memory and has limited support for DDR3L memory. 5, 2015 - Media confirms: Best to use DDR4 with Intel Skylake And even though DDR4 does cost a bit more than DDR3 (about $70 for 16GB DDR4-2666 compared to $60 for DDR3-1600), it's the better choice for any new PC.Update Oct. There are a few select instances where both memory types are supported, but you end up with half as many slots (eg, two DDR3 and two DDR4, instead of four DDR4). DDR4 will come down to your choice of CPU and motherboard. Core i7-8700K meanwhile doubles again to 128GB, helped in large part by the availability of higher capacity DIMMs.īut ultimately, the question of DDR3 vs. The Core i7-4770K officially lists 32GB as the maximum supported RAM, while i7-6700K doubles that to 64GB. It's possible to get larger DDR3 memory modules, but many won't work in standard desktop motherboards. There are potentially other differences as well. DDR3 was slightly faster about half the time, and typically only a few percentage points separated the two memory types. The difference between DDR3-2133 and DDR4-2133 was negligible in a number of applications, ranging from Handbrake video conversion to half a dozen different games. How does this translate to real-world performance? As Anandtech found in some comprehensive benchmarks comparing DDR3 and DDR4, neither was a clear performance leader.
