Will this RAM work?

[phongle123]

I took 8gb out of my 2x8gb from my personal when I created my FreeNAS. But now I need the 8GB back.

 

My motherboard is an Asrock Z370M-ITX/a.c.

 

It doesn't support ECC RAM but it has dual gigabit which is why I bought it. 

 

I ebay'd up "4gb ddr4 dimm" and chose the cheapest one. It says it' 2400T speed I don't know what what the T after the 2400 means. However, does this fit/work on my motherboard?

Registered ECC RAM will ONLY work with sever boards. Being Registered makes it certain it won't work where other ECC RAM might.

OH that I did not know that there where 2 different types of ECC.

 

I also thought ECC memory would just run as non-ECC mode in non-compatible MBs.

 

But according to your statement. Is it rare for unregistered ECC to not work on non-compatible MBs or is that pretty normal?

I'm pretty sure unregistered ECC will not work if:

a) the motherboard doesn't support it

b) the CPU doesn't support it

c) all of the above

Oh the cpu supports ECC but the motherboard doesn't. It's an i3-8100. Will unreg ecc work from this?

I wouldn't expect it to boot with any kind of ECC memory installed. If you already have the memory, it's worth a try IMO.

I dont have the memory yet. I'm looking to buy a cheap 4GB DDR4 even if the speed is low as it's only going to be going into the FREENAS machine so it doesn't really matter. 

 

I just don' wanna be spending 55+ for a 4gb 2400 from Amazon, etc. 

 

I'll have to keep looking for regular DIMM on the cheap. 

 

Thanks guys.

Hit up Craigslist, see what you can find.
