If you read the old thread you'll see that with a Xeon cpu, the board managed two 32gig ECC sticks of ram totaling 64gigs. But with a non-Xeon the most you can apparently get is 32gigs (2x16gigs). Maybe when there are non-ECC 32gig sticks they'll work with a non-Xeon, but that's just speculation.

Interesting. Cheers guys!

Which one can't be overclocked?

Sorry, I meant specific ram modules, like, brands and model numbers.

Thanks mate - partpicker is useful. Yeah, while the manufacturer did list Xeon compatibility, it didn't specify ECC ram compatibility. Say, these two in particular. https://ark.intel.com/products/92994/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E5-1650-v4-15M-Cache-3_60-GHz https://ark.intel.com/products/94189/Intel-Core-i7-6800K-Processor-15M-Cache-up-to-3_60-GHz#@specifications

Actually, just wanting to continue an old thread I found here: But I posted on there and haven't had a response there yet; trying the other approach. copypasta: Do you think that any ECC DDR4 ram would work [with this mobo and Xeon]? I'm wanting to see if this ram: https://www.mwave.com.au/product/crucial-32gb-1x-32gb-ddr4-2133mhz-ecc-dimm-memory-ab81048 (it's the cheapest) would work with this Xeon processor: https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/intel-xeon-e5-1650-v4-processor-intel/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=product_listing_ads&gclid=Cj0KEQiAhs3DBRDmu-rVkuif0N8BEiQAWuUJr5rNM7zF1d6YeHlwAIFzwL86aFgceeF4bBor4uZJxRYaApY58P8HAQ (cheapest 6core Xeon above 3ghz I could find) Just bought an ASRock x99e itx and want to 'future resist' it for a while starting with a single 32gig stick and then throwing in another 32gigs later. Just a general question too; is there any disadvantage in going for a Xeon 6 core over an equally clocked i7 6 core (lga2011-3)? Basically, the only reason I'm looking at the Xeon's is for the ECC ram compatibility. Cheers! Straya.

Appreciate any advice
