Dear Asrock Support, and Members! I have one question. I want to buy the B150M Combo-G motherboard. (And I want to get the i5 6600 or 6500 CPU for it) I have two Kingston memory modules. The KHX1600C10D3B1 / 8G. So 16GB. http://www.kingston.com/datasheets/KHX1600C10D3b1_8G.pdf That is in the Memory Support List! I would like to use my current DDR3 memory! However, Intel's recommendation says that the I5 6600 and 6500 CPUs only support DDR4 and the lower voltage, DDR3L 1,35V memories. However, the motherboard's page says, that it supports my module. But my normal DDR3 Memory is 1.5 volts. Will it be okay for the I5 6600 or 6500 CPU? Will it work properly? Does the BIOS limits the tension? Or what is the solution? Will it do any damage to the memory or CPU? The motherboard page says all other properties are okay, and I would really like the I5 6600 CPU, but I do not want to risk anything in my PC! Thanks in advance for the help! |

It will work fine. I have no problems using even 1.65v RAM on my H170 Combo. Regular 1.5v RAM will work fine. -------------
