  Sorry. New processors only use ddr5. You’ll have to buy something used (or low end old-stock) if you want ddr4

    I just did a new build with DDR4 because I was panicked about rising costs, and I don’t think the Ryzen 7 5800X counts as low end, or at least it didn’t when it was new. You’re probably right about it being old stock though, and none of this is relevant to laptops.

      I just wish AMD would bring another x3d chip into production for am4
