Ryzen with ecc reg memory

[LiorBN]

Hi all

Assuming i have a bunch of the memory sticks from this picture, a proper gpu, m.2 drive and ssds,

Could i use them in a ryzen (zen 2 based)

And a x570 board build?

My plan is to build something that would reduce some of the costs at first and then slowly upgrade (cpu, gpu, memory) over time when budget allows

 

If this is indeed possible, which x570 board would do a good enough job and have 4 slots of memory to use, so that when i do upgrade to higer speed memory, i can use regular (but high speed memory) and have enough capacity

Ryzen cannot run REG memory, they wont work.

 

Any reason to omit B550?

Registered RAM (RDIMM) is only supported on Threadripper and EPYC platforms. Ryzen can only use unregistered ECC (UDIMM) RAM, if the motherboard supports it. These two use different protocols for communication.

I dont need it to run in reg. Mode

Will it post and run as non-ecc?

Omitting b550 is purely based on Jayz and others recommendations to add a bit more $ and get a bit more features

Could a b board be used in a scenario a x board will not?

Ok so i gather this wouldn't work

Thanks for the help (and i came out a bit stupid here )

 

So if we continue down this road, will a TR system be any good way to go if my main usage is light gaming+recording and editing for YT and light home use

That might also include python/java development?

Many B550.boards.offer 2.5G LAN and Wifi 6 while.X570 only gets these on some $250 and many $300 options. It is not always the case that X570 gets more.stuff than.B550.

 

Not that I can think of

Threadripper cannot run RDIMM either, it's still in the Ryzen family after all.

More expensive than just buying a proper non REG high frequency 32GB memory kit and AM4 build, completely against the idea of saving cost

Thank you all so much for the help

Amazing community, that actually contribute to noobs like me tons of info
