You will need DDR4 for the i5-6600k Edit : Early These are DDR4 boards ... not what you requested. ASrock Z170 Pro 4 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157635 (89.00 after rebate) MSI Z170A - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130902 (88.00 after rebate) ASUS Z170-E - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132691 (86.00 after rebate) I would go with the ASUS out of the three.

How does that work? There is such a thing DDR3L right? Or is it not all of the new CPUs support it? Jim K 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim K Global Moderator Posted July 9, 2016 Global Moderator Share Posted July 9, 2016 /sigh. Too early. ASrock H100M http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157648 ($62) ASUS H170M-E D3 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132579 ($95) I guess the ASUS. Now, the problem is you'll be hard pressed to find the DDR3 and Z chipset (for the 6600K) below a hundred dollars. If you haven't bought the 6600K yet....then suggest you get the regular i5-6600. If you have the 6600K in hand...I would get one of the aforementioned boards (like the ASUS Z170-E) and grab 8/16GB of DDR for between 30-60 bucks. But...if you absolutely need a board, for under a hundred bucks, I think the H170M-E will be fine. 11 minutes ago, Danielx64 said: How does that work? There is such a thing DDR3L right?

+PeterUK MVC Posted July 9, 2016 MVC Share Posted July 9, 2016 GIGABYTE GA-Z170M-D3H is another to look at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128845&cm_re=GA-Z170M-D3H-_-13-128-845-_-Product GIGABYTE lists you can put DDR3 RAM thats 1.5V and even 1.65V but its likely better to run at 1.5V because the CPU is meant to run low voltage ram.

killer0pro Posted July 9, 2016 Author Share Posted July 9, 2016 Is this ok? Its for sale in my country store, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132572&cm_re=ASUS_Z170-P_D3-_-13-132-572-_-Product Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please note it will not support SLI...if that is a big deal for you. It has a Z170 chipset so you can overclock your 6600K as well as the usual stuff...it has some of the latest features like USB 3.1. I have not seen any reviews of it on the web ... but it is ASUS ... meets your requirements ... I do not see anything glaringly wrong with it.

JustGeorge Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) Do you already have DDR3? If not, DDR4 is cheap now. Why limit yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim K Global Moderator Posted July 10, 2016 Global Moderator Share Posted July 10, 2016 naaa...not really. I think you'll be fine with the board you found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGHammer Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 DDR3L (the only non-DDR4 for Z170 motherboards) actually costs more (not less) than DDR4. If anything, DDR4 and non-low-voltage (the L on DDR3L stands for low-voltage - it is also incompatible with standard DDR3 chipsets) have price parity today. The issue with Skylake vs. Haswell was not component price, for the most part - but component availability (specifically, there is STILL no Skylake equivalent to the G3258 - which is the Haswell CPU I went with); further, I already HAD 8GB of DDR3 (from a previously-planned build when I went into a stall).

Note on this DDR3L can run at 1.35 OR 1.5 and should be compatible with standard DDR3 chipset. I happen to know this because we are using it now in 3 different models of machines with regular chips.
