Help me with an Asus B150 Plus motherboard Ram compatibility please!

[RGProductions]

Hello I am Ryan and I am new here but not new to building PC's.  just need to know what type of ram the Asus B150 Plus takes. I can't find any consistent information on this. I am looking for people who own this motherboard and can tell me if it uses ddr3 or ddr4. I know skylake usually uses ddr4 but I have found several that conflict each other. Please help me rejoin the PC master race! (My old pc is from 2007).  I can give an amazon link if it is allowed if needed. Thanks!!!

it takes ddr4

welcome to the Linus Tech Tips forums, ryan!

 

it takes the 240-pin DDR3L memory. the L means low voltage over the standard DDR3 which is 1.5 as the DDR3L is 1.2/1.3.

not all DDR3 can run undervolted without resetting your speeds/timings.

Actually no. It takes ddr 3 ram. Skylake does support both ddr3 and ddr 4. It depends on what the motherboard manufacturers want to put on.
