Does anyone know what I can use some old ram for in a Ryzen build. I have a few 8 gb kits of ddr3 lying around collecting dust and but want to give it up if I can use them for something else

Think of it like this..

If you can't use it, someone can.

 

Make money, put towards Ryzen PC.

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz

DDR4 and DDR3 have a different pin layout (among many other differences), so you won't be able to use DDR3 on any Ryzen motherboard.

AMD Ryzen 7 3700X | Thermalright Le Grand Macho RT | ASUS ROG Strix X470-F | 16GB G.Skill Trident Z RGB @3400MHz | EVGA RTX 2080S XC Ultra | EVGA GQ 650 | HP EX920 1TB / Crucial MX500 500GB / Samsung Spinpoint 1TB | Cooler Master H500M
