Board has a convenient light system to tell you what didn't work. CPU lights up followed by DRAM. Is it possible I messed up and need to find a 8th gen CPU to do a bios update? Yes I have a GPU so it's not because of that sadly.

Looks like 2Rx8

Not too sure. The exact designation of the ram is samsung m391a4g43mb1-ctd

not sure what the answer to your question is? Are you asking about the RAM sticks or the DIMM slots on the motherboard?

ECC works in non-ecc boards as long as it isn't buffered AFAIK. Just don't get the ECC function, which I do not care about

see title. I am looking at buy a lightly used workstation on super cheap. Has 4x32gb RAM (DDR4 2666, ECC unbuffered) to cannibalize some parts for a budget upgrade to my system (CPU+motherboard, which also means I need more RAM). It's a great deal if I can use the CPU+RAM from the workstation and buy a cheap lga 1151 motherboard that fits my current GPU. Can it work in that motherboard with a 64 gb limit? Will it not post/function at all? Will it use 64 gb total in two channels? Will it treat each 32gb as 16 gb max (per slot)?
