Will DDR3 RAM work with an i5-6600k provided the motherboard

Yes but you might as well just go with DDR4. YOu are going to have to buy it eventually. No new platforms will support ddr3 at all.

Thanks for the input, but the motherboard is something i consider upgrading once when the planets align to counter GPU bottlenecking. Now is such the case. And from what i saw, the difference in gaming is very much minimal between these two.

My (limited) research shows that Skylake does not officially support DDR3 as long term use can damage its IMC.

I also saw that when i was doing my own research. And i don't know how true that is, seeing how RAM and CPU interaction works. Since there is a motherboard by a known manufacturer that uses DDR3 and skylake, it feels odd this is even a choice if the issues could end up so severe.

As long as it is good DDR3 it shouldn't be an issue but if you are using old 1333 or 1600 there can be some memory bottlenecks. There can be up to a 30% difference in some games in the 1% lows.
