Please help me with this question

[emilyadella]

I am looking to upgrade but keep my DDR3 ram because I have a lot of and a comparable kit in DDR4 would be extremely expensive for 32GB

So I need to know which intel 115X socket generations support ddr3 and which processor are supported on those boards as well as which chipsets are overclockable I know z series boards are but those are way expensive usually and I know h81 boards support overclocking now so I am looking to see which other ones do.

I am upgrading from and AMD 8150 @ 4.5ghz

Do you need 32GB? Chances are 16GB of DDR4 is still good, unless you have a specific use case that requires lots of ram.

LGA 1150 is the last generation to support DDR3, unless you get this:

you lose OC support but you can get a current gen i5, unfortunately this board only has 2 dimm slots though.

The excess ram is for editing long high res video,

I don't have a lot a budget for the needed upgraded and waiting is not really an option so I was going for the most bang for the buck option which appeared to be an 1150 series overclocked with my 32GB of ram.

A non overclocked i7 would still be nice, so a B85 board with your full compliment of ram would still be decent. I highly recommend not settling for half measures, it'll be an endless cycle.

I seem to recall watching a video, might even be an LTT video, about a Chinese motherboard that works with 9th gen CPUs and ddr3. It wasn't as fast as the standard DDR4 counterparts but it worked 

 

Can't recall exactly.

[emilyadella]

it seems there are set of z170 boards from asus and asrock that support ddr3 

that said normally I agree on half measures but my editing rig is dead and I don't want to buy another am3+ board for it

 

I saw the video plutosaurus and seem to make more sense to go with an older board

Sell the ddr3 for $80 - $100. Buy 2 of these kits for $160.

It will cost you $60-$80 to change ram. Don't bury yourself in a dead platform. If you have a microcenter near you you can get a ryzen CPU and mobo combo for a lot less than a used 115x system.

I believe it would be a nice purchase to buy a budget Ryzen setup with room to expand. What are your thoughts on something like that? 16GB now with 2 free slots is pretty nice.

I live in Jax, florida no micro center, I have $200 to get back up and running and basically 2 days(was planning on amazon) so selling it would interesting, that said it anyone has a suggested platform I would Like to get rid of a 16GB 4x4 ddr3 kit of corsair vengeance and a galaxy 650ti boost

Unfortunately it's a tough decision, you've got no time, no money, and high requirements. One of these things has to change, either less strict requirements, higher budget, or more patience.

yep and so is popping a solid cap on the old motherboard aka the part that failed and sounded like a gun going off when it did
