Will this MOBO + RAM combo work ?

[BrightShadowDK]

I bought some cheap mining boards for 20 usd a piece (new and in Denmark)

GIGABYTE GA-H110-D3A

• 2 x DDR4 DIMM sockets supporting up to 32 GB of system memory
  * Due to a Windows 32-bit operating system limitation, when more than 4 GB of physical memory is installed, the actual memory size displayed will be less than the size of the physical memory installed.
• Dual channel memory architecture
• Support for DDR4 2400/2133 MHz memory modules
• Support for ECC UDIMM 1Rx8/2Rx8 memory modules (operate in non-ECC mode)
• Support for non-ECC UDIMM 1Rx8/2Rx8/1Rx16 memory modules
• Support for Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) memory modules
  * To support 2400 MHz or XMP memory, you must install a 7^th generation processor.

This RAM is almost half of the normal price.. so was wondering if it will work in my boards ?

 

It says: Registered ECC (if i understand correctly the mobo runs ECC in NON-ECC mode, but what about the "Registered" part ?)

8 GB DDR4 Crucial ECC 2133 MHz CL15 : CT8G4RFD8213.18FB1

Skylake chips (i5 6400, 6600k and i7 6700k) do not support ECC memory. You will have to use a Xeon processor for the RAM to work on your board.

the board info says it will run in non ECC mode.. thought it did not matter !?

Then no it doesn't work. Indeed ECC can be disabled, but registered memory needs different memory controller codes that consumer CPUs do not support and will not run when you have them installed. Only server CPUs and server boards can use them.

Thank you, for the clear answer (was also thinking that it was too good to be true )

im planning on running i5ś and i7ś when the become cheap used but DDR4 RAM will properly not go much lower then now, when DDR5 becomes mainstream they become rare and wont go down any further.. as ddr3 used is near the same price as used ddr4 at the moment (in Denmark)

from how indifferent 6th and 7th gen CPUs are to 4th gen, I would not go to this platform if that's what you want to do. 4th gen CPUs may have memory just as expensive, but the CPU and board themselves are cheaper (usually). Ryzen also uses DDR4 and lets you upgrade to the newest CPUs

I just like building cheap computers and reselling them to people that cant afford expensive ones.. for me itś like therapy and they get them for the price of the hardware..(factoring in my losses)

My boy bought himself an R5 3600, 16gb, 1060 6gb, 275gb ssd, 6tb hdd.. (so think he is ok..)

i just like to get the most out of what other people consitter obsolete.. win.. win.. 

the problem at the moment is 3. and 4. gen. is so fucking cheap because there are no boards available (or they are overpriced)

look a few years ahead and i think it's gonna be the same with 6. and 7 gen. therefore i bought 10 boards cheap and store them.. and when i can get the cpuś dirt cheap iḿ gonna build them..

i'd love to get me some new boards for all the old "core i" cpuś for only 20 usd..  do you get my drift... ;-)
