Registered RAM

[ApplesOfEpicness]

So I've looked around and can't find any definitive answers. Does the ASUS z170i pro gaming support non ECC, registered dimms? I know ECC requires CPU support, but what does registered require?

 

Thanks.

Since it is a desktop board, No, and registered is almost purely ecc, though it is possible to make registered non ecc.

 

For registered ecc support you need a motherboard that can support the extra chip on the ram that makes it registered usually these are only "server" or workstation boards although in certain instances registered ecc has worked on regulr desktop boards.

 

Unless you are doing any sort of mission critical data calculations where one but if data wrong could cause severe consequences registered, and ecc support are not worth the price difference.
