Upgrade Intel Core i5 to DDR3 RAM and switch to DDR4 memory.
Your current board has some issues. If you plan to upgrade to a new motherboard, switching platforms would be better. DDR3 still functions well in most situations. I’m not sure why you’re so eager to move to DDR4. It’s Haswell, not Haswell E. Haswell E was the server version of Haswell, and Intel back then had the server side lagging behind desktop technology. Servers need dependability, and using outdated hardware isn’t advisable. However, relying on hardware that’s a year old and proven is much more reliable.
DDR3-1333/1600 and DDR3L-1333/1600 at 1.5V were officially backed by Intel for that CPU. You can find more details here: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/...0-ghz.html In the past, when Intel’s memory controllers were on the north bridge, some boards could handle both DDR and DDR2 standards. But there were many limitations. Nowadays, memory controllers are integrated into the CPU, so Intel typically supports only one generation at a time.
