[Hexorian]

I'm in the middle of building my first PC and decided to re use the ram from my old PC but ram doesn't fit in the mother board the little opening on the stick doesn't match up with the slot. Please help!

I think you've got an older generation of RAM.

What does it say on the label of the RAM? (DDR1/2/3/4?)

What type or Ram? DDR3? DDR4?

 

The H110m uses DDR4

It doesn't say but I think it must be ddr3 the old system was a bit old dammit now I have to order ram and wait like 5 days.

The RAM is likely not DDR4

Most likely wrong type of memory. It's a good thing you've asked before trying to force it in.

Yeah, that's probably the issue! 1151 socket uses DDR4, anything before is usually DDR3, DDR2 etc

It has compatibility with DDR3, but for most desktop boards they use DDR4.

 

But here's a Socket 1151 board with DDR3 support: http://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-Z170-HD3-DDR3-rev-10

Yup, One of the computers I built for a customer years ago had 2x DDR2 and 2x DDR3 memory slots, fun stuff.
