Choosing Memory

You need 288-pin DDR4 RAM (Non-ECC). The speeds will all be compatible as long as it is DDR4 Non-ECC RAM.

 

ECC RAM is for server and workstation grade machines. It has an extra bit to help correct any accidental RAM errors during operation. This helps servers have a high uptime.
