Current intel chipset compatible with DDR3 PV38G213C1K
Choose a mainboard with four slots for full RAM customization. It supports 2133 MHz at 1.5V without needing higher voltages. The newest Intel socket that accommodates DDR3 is LGA 1151 (the older types are still compatible). For LGA 1150 models you can find Z87/Z97 boards that go beyond DDR3 1600. Alternatively, build a media PC using an FM2 platform, which works well with APU-based systems and benefits from the APU's DDR3 support.
However, on h/q it wouldn't exceed DDR3 1600, and Gen 7 uses a 1155 socket on the desktop.
I don’t rely on Intel for my primary system. I’m constructing builds using affordable, second-hand components at no expense. Prices can vary based on condition and worth.
