I just got in my new Asus Z10PE-D16 WS im still waiting on my 2 Intel Xeon E5-2683 V3 to come in but i just realized i ordered 2 sets of CORSAIR 64GB (4 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM 2133 NON-ECC ram when it came in. I know this post is old and i saw you have got the same board. I just wanted to find out if you have this board running with NON-ECC ram or should i send this back and find ECC ram.
Hmm, as long as you don't game, the Xeons would be great. I have a Xeon E5-2695V3 in my home NAS and it's great for rendering / high CPU load. However, it's terrible at gaming because it's literally 1-2 cores at 2.2GHz for games...it chokes bad for that. Also, if you're on ebay seeing high core Xeons for cheap, they're more than likely ES chips. They're still good, but just know they aren't retail Xeon chips.
I would be very careful with the RAM, make sure you run it at normal DDR4 speeds otherwise the Xeons will not boot. They don't play well with higher speed RAM. Your ram choice is good though.
I think you are good for this build. I honestly...wouldn't put too much hope on Zen since this build would eat their CPUs alive more than likely. I mean my NAS' CPU beats out my cousin's overclocked 5820K (4.4GHz) for rendering.
Other cool thing is that Xeons don't use much power at all. My Xeon runs at 0.89 vcore at full load. That's just nuts.
TravisW got a reaction from Blazon21 in Non-ECC Memory on ASUS Z10PE-D8 WS?
