P6T Deluxe V2 + X5675 ECC RAM?

I'm looking at a P6T Deluxe V2 for one of my new projects. I'll be using a Xeon X5675 CPU and 32GB DDR3 ECC RAM I have lying around.

The MoBo does not support ECC RAM, but the CPU does. I've read that the RAM will just "not ECC" and that it will behave like normal RAM. 

 

The specific RAM is 4x8GB-2Rx4-PC3L-10600R-9-10-E1 from Hynix.

 

I have a dual Xeon workstation, and this RAM has worked flawlessly in there. I am not using that workstation, so I don't need this RAM. 

 

I've read that it will not work with registered RAM. Is what I have registered RAM?

 

I'm assuming it won't work, but maybe?

 

Help appreciated!

Yes

It wont. Either get unbuffered ECC (I am not sure if you will get ECC or not) or go with the safest bet, non ecc DDR3 rams.

Gotcha, thanks

Only the Intel server chipsets will run the Xeon with ECC RDIMMs (or the hacked Chinese boards from Aliexpress, lol).

The consumer boards need non-ECC or unbuffered ECC.

Yeah, looks like I'm stuck with the wrong RAM. Do you know if unbuffered DIMMs and registered DIMMs can be combined in one system?

You can't mix ECC types. Either all RDIMM or all UDIMM. Since RDIMM support is reserved for server chipsets, they won't work in any configuration on your current motherboard.

 

This is why I ended up just getting the cheapest 12GB kit I could find and called it a day for my Asus P6T. Was about $60 2 months ago.
