    Hello! It's safe to say no to this one. DDR4 uses 284-pin slots while DDR3 uses 240-pin slots. In conjunction with physical interface differences, DDR4 uses different signaling voltages and other factors which makes DDR3 neither forward nor backward compatible.

    To support DDR4 the CPU also has to be built to support it as well as the motherboard chipset.

    AMD Ryzen 9 7950X,  Corsair Mp700 Pro M.2, 64GB Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5  X670E Steel Legend, MSI RTX 4090 Associate Code: H5U80QBH6BH0AXF. I am NOT an employee of EVGA
