First of all, you need to make sure your motherboard supports it. If I remember correctly, skylake mobos usually support some obscure variant of DDR3. And for DDR4, as long as the mobo supports it, you should be fine.

Want to know which mobo to get?

Spoiler

Choose whatever you need. Any more, you're wasting your money. Any less, and you don't get the features you need.

 

Only you know what you need to do with your computer, so nobody's really qualified to answer this question except for you.

Can I use it with a CPU such as a Xeon or skylake without harm? Is there proof ddr3 with skylake/ ddr4 with 4gen damages the CPU?

You have to use low power ddr3 (ddr3l) and have a motherboard with ddr3 slots, regular ddr3 can burn out the memory controller on the cpu. If it is the xeon from your other post there are no 2011-3 boards with ddr3 support.
