Old RAM in new machine?

[The19thbear]

I am thinking about getting this motherboard:
GIGABYTE GA-H270-Gaming 3

Along with the i7 7700k 4.2ghz kaby lake cpu.

I have an old machine (intel dp67bg mb and i7 2600, 3.45ghz cpu).
The main reason i am upgrading is because of the cpu. The 2600 is actually very powerful, but when i overclock it, the overclocking is not active in Sierra (I have tried many things, but nothing worked). It works fine in windows. I am starting to notice cpu problems when doing work (music production).

In that machine i have 16g of 1333 RAM. Will that work on the new mb or do i need to get new RAM?

According to this page:
https://www.cnet.com/products/gigab...-0-motherboard-atx-lga1151-socket-h270/specs/https://www.cnet.com/products/gigab...-0-motherboard-atx-lga1151-socket-h270/specs/

only this is supported:
Supported RAM

• Bus Clock
  2133 MHz, 2400 MHz (O.C.)
• Registered or Buffered
  Unbuffered
• Features
  Dual channel memory architecture, Intel Extreme Memory Profiles (XMP)
• Max Size
  64 GB
• Technology
  DDR4
• Supported RAM Integrity Check
  Non-ECC, ECC

Will it still work? but not at optimal speed?
Or just not work at all?

Thanks.

Your new motherboard requires DDR4 RAM. Your old machine uses DDR3 RAM which is not compatible with the new motherboard. So you have to get new DDR4 RAM.
