Hey all,
I just recently ordered all the bits for a new build.
Asus H170M-E D3 board with an I3 Skylake 6100 processor.
So I had 16gb of DDR3 coming, then quickly found out Skylake only supports DDR3L because 1.5v ram can damage it.
So my motherboard said it supported DDR3 /L ram, I quickly cancelled the DDR3 and ordered some Hyper X DDR3L 8gb kit.
I've just got the motherboard in the case. And I went to fit the ram. And I hadn't thought anything of it being half the size of normal DDR3. I assumed as mobo said supported it would just clip in.
But it doesn't look like it will. Am I right in saying this 204pin SODIMM kit won't fit at all? Does full size pins DDR3L exist?
It's got me so down and confused about the build. All excited putting it together and now I can't and I'm out of money and going to have to reorder I think?
Could anyone just put my mind at ease about it all and confirm what I need to do now. Recommended replacement ram that will work would be appreciated.
