Cheap RAM compatible with supermicro X8DTT-F

[Alec M]

I want to get some ram that's compatible with my Supermicro X8DTT-F motherboard, and I can't seem to be able to find ECC ram on eBay that is cheap.

Does anyone have suggestions for server ram that would be compatible for under 40$?

Here's the supermicro link:

Thanks!

Registered ECC just isn't cheap. 

 

Do you need ECC? You could go for unbuffered non-ECC if you don't need the ECC functions.

I don't know, the supermicro website says that I need Registered ECC.

Maybe I don't need it though, since ECC is not useful for the specific application I'm using if for.

It says it works with ECC registered or ECC unbuffered or non-ECC unbuffered. 

 

From the Supermicro product page:

 

Memory Capacity

12x 240-pin DIMM slots Supports up to 192 GB** 1333 / 1066 / 800MHz DDR3 ECC Registered memory Supports up to 48 GB 1333 / 1066 / 800MHz DDR3 ECC / Non ECC Unbuffered memory Memory Mirroring supported

 

 

If you need higher than 48GB, you'll have to go with ECC Registered. But 48GB and below can work with just normal desktop DDR3.

Oh, sorry. I was looking at the key features at the top I didn't think to look at the memory section

 

Thanks for your help!
