Check compatibility with DDR4 or DDR5 specifications for your motherboard.

No board can handle both DDR4 and DDR5. The Z690-E model supports only DDR5.

There is technically a possibility, but it's not recommended. Using it would likely cause issues because the slots aren't designed for both DDR4 and DDR5 simultaneously. The Z690-E supports only DDR5, so inserting DDR4 wouldn't fit properly.

Surprised that someone made this choice since there were a few Skylake models with dual DDR3 and DDR4 slots, but it’s unclear why anyone would need it.

This version is even more problematic because it relies solely on single-channel memory.
