What usually is supposed to happen when you insert ECC ram into

>>56480412
bump

It might have automatically turned off except. Run some tests

it works normally, without ECC features

>>56481611
I'm guessing this is due to it being unbuffered?

>>56480412
More interesting question is what happens when you stick rdimms in a box with a xeon E3 in it.

>>56482057
It won't work.

>>56482098
As in won't boot?

>>56482162
Yes. The memory controller cannot address the memory because the buffer is in the way, so to speak.

>>56482214
FUCK. Lenovo was selling DDR4 rdimms below udimm prices for a while.

>>56482374
Haha you're fucked mate.

>>56480412
It will run, but the additional 8 bitlines and their associated memory chip used for ECC will not have a link to the memory controller and thus will not function.

Good explanation, thanks.

It creates mustard gas.
Don't do it!

>using 2x4GB + 2x2GB DDR3 1600. Frequently run low.
>have 4x4GB ECC DDR3 1333 in the other room that I thought was useless

Damn, now I'm conflicted. Do I move to 16GB and drop to 1333MHz, or stay at 12GB 1600?

>>56482488
Ah well. Anyone want 16GB of DDR4 RDIMM for $100?

>>56482915
>tfw when you need unbuffered ECC
Way too hard to find this shit... And you are asking way too much anon.
I got 16GB for like 80 the other day.

>>56482982
100 includes shipping. 16GB registered is selling in the 150 range.

>>56482915
Is that a single DIMM?

>>56482825
It will only work if unbuffered.

>>56483351
It probably is, considering it's just an 1U mATX with a X3450.

>>56483420
* yes, it is.
