H170M-E D3 is a budget mobo. That's why it's DDR3 to keep them cost down.

 

Yea it supports DDR3, but it doesnt support DDR4?

It supports both, but it's up to the manufacturer to make a mobo that picks if it is ddr3 or ddr4. Like I said, it's a budget mobo to keep cost down.

No this Motherboard only supports DDR3 memory.

An AMD cpu has no place in a solely gaming build, end of.

I3 4150, Intel HD graphics, corsair CX750M, 4gb ram, Asus H81M-E, corsair 230T, Intel stock cooler WD Green 2TB Gigabyte 550TI

Why you shouldn't trust Gpu or Cpu boss Click on this I dare you!
