Asrock X99E-ITX ECC DDR4

[Tytealeus]

Actually, just wanting to continue an old thread I found here:

But I posted on there and haven't had a response there yet; trying the other approach.

copypasta:

Do you think that any ECC DDR4  ram would work [with this mobo and Xeon]?

I'm wanting to see if this ram:

https://www.mwave.com.au/product/crucial-32gb-1x-32gb-ddr4-2133mhz-ecc-dimm-memory-ab81048

(it's the cheapest)

 

would work with this Xeon processor:

(cheapest 6core Xeon above 3ghz I could find)

 

Just bought an ASRock x99e itx and want to 'future resist' it for a while starting with a single 32gig stick and then throwing in another 32gigs later.

 

Just a general question too; is there any disadvantage in going for a Xeon 6 core over an equally clocked i7 6 core (lga2011-3)?  Basically, the only reason I'm looking at the Xeon's is for the ECC ram compatibility.

 

Cheers!

From what I can see this combination of components is compatible.

 

For next time, spec sheets are your friend, They can be found by looking for the motherboard on the naufacturer's website, and looking for the cpu on the manufacturer's website (In this case intels very good ARK database)

 

The other resource a lot of us use is partpicker

Well xeons are normally meant for video rendering or transcoding i should say or basic company server use. Depends what it is.

Thanks mate - partpicker is useful.

 

Yeah, while the manufacturer did list Xeon compatibility, it didn't specify ECC ram compatibility.

Say, these two in particular.

Well I guess the only difference would be is the non overclocking ability

Maybe go with the Xeon

[slightlyjaded]

Anything up to 64GB

[Tytealeus]

Sorry, I meant specific ram modules, like, brands and model numbers.

Which one can't be overclocked?

Xeon

Xeon. I think the last overclocking xeon was skulltrail.

 

The brand of ram doesn't matter, they all conform to the standard that they list. So if it's non ECC memory you're limited to 32 GB. If you're using ECC and a xeon (both are required for this) You can use up to 64GB

 

Please note that if you change your mind and use another motherboard, you'll have to look for both xeon, and ECC ram compatibility to use this.

Interesting.  Cheers guys!

They both support ddr4, but what are you trying to build here? But the max ram on the board is 32 gigs

Xeon E5-16xx V1 through 3 were.

If you read the old thread you'll see that with a Xeon cpu, the board managed two 32gig ECC sticks of ram totaling 64gigs.  But with a non-Xeon the most you can apparently get is 32gigs (2x16gigs).  Maybe when there are non-ECC 32gig sticks they'll work with a non-Xeon, but that's just speculation.

ok thanks I was really confused
