Non-ECC Memory on ASUS Z10PE-D8 WS?

[Sinakaru]

So i recently ordered the Asus Z10PE-D8 WS dual socket motherboard for an upcoming workstation build that I'm making, and I was wondering if anyone had experience with this board and non-ECC memory. ECC memory is much more expensive than comparable DDR4. Asus' website had a validated memory list for the board, but it only contains ECC memory.

 

I'm running two e5-26XX v3 Xeons if that helps at all.

 

Thanks for looking!

Xeons need ECC, NON-ECC probably won't work period. But the worse that'll happen is your board won't post, so you can try it, but I doubt it'll work

No, non-ECC would not work. The board only supports Registered (buffered) ECC memory and LR-DIMM. Non-buffered RAM (like normal DIMM DDR3/4) is keyed different and flat out will not work. Unregistered (unbuffered) ECC RAM will also not work, as it shares the same keying as regular RAM. 

EDIT: There are a few sets of unregistered ECC RAM that seem to share the same keying as registered ECC, but I would just go for registered ECC to be safe. The fact that non-ECC will not work holds true.

With only one  CPU non ECC memory may work, but  with two you need ECC.

Xeon work with both types, it depends on the board.

Yeah I read that later, but it doesn't seem to work with dual Xeons so I'm sticking with that my old post

Dual xeon need ecc cause of the board.

Boards with dual CPUs and a lot of memory slots tend to only support registered ECC, as it lessens the load on the memory controllers and helps a lot with stability with a large amount of DIMMs. 

AFAIK, there are no dual socket boards that support non-ECC, but there may be some that work just fine with unregistered ECC. With this board, it seems to have to be registered ECC, though.

Thank you all for your help! I picked up some Crucial DDR4 RDIMMs that are also ECC, so hopefully they work!

Asus has a list of tested memory.

if you find one of this without a huge price difference I wold go with one of them.

clearly poeple do not know what they are talking about, i use non memory in both my asus dual socket motherboards. the z9pa-d8, and the asus z10pe d16 (non ws), and i just bought the asus z10pe-d16 WS and i garuntee non ecc memory will work.

This thread is 8 months old. Really no point in replying to it now. 

 

But yes, looks like it will work, but only with one CPU from what I can tell. The overall suggestion on Asus's website, specs, QVL and FAQ is to use RDIMM or LR-DIMM ECC.

no it will work with both, both of my boards dimm slots are filled, and youre right but its irritating to see, idk both my boards work fine with dominator dimms ddr3, and i plan to put dom plats ddr4 in my new z10pe d16 ws, and i know itll work, so just letting my experience be known that both cpu's can be installed and still use regular dimms

CPU supported is here.

Any recommendations for the best bang for the buck as of November 5, 2016? I'm thinking of selling my E5 2620 v3 and upgrading to more cores for 3D Rendering.

 

Thanks,

I just got in my new Asus Z10PE-D16 WS im still waiting on my 2 Intel Xeon E5-2683 V3 to come in but i just realized i ordered 2 sets of CORSAIR 64GB (4 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM 2133 NON-ECC ram when it came in. I know this post is old and i saw you have got the same board. I just wanted to find out if you have this board running with NON-ECC ram or should i send this back and find ECC ram.

Hi ppl

 

yep. is a old thread. but i have the same question

 

i got recently the z10pe-D8 and a pair of E5-2650-v4 cpus.

 

anyone can confirm with pics, cpuinfo or something if works non-ecc ram with this mobo?

 

@TravisW finally work for you the ram?

 

greetings

Did you find out CORSAIR 64GB (4 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM 2133 NON-ECC ram works with asus zp10e- d8 ws
