My boss told me to build a server. Are 32 GB RAM sticks reliable yet?

if you need to ask this question you shouldn't have the job you do

We're still on 16 GiB sticks everywhere

So I can't tell you if 32 GiB are any good or not

Fpbp

Been using them for a few months now. Haven't had much of an issue. They're in a bunch of Dell R630/730 chassis's.

If you need to build a server for a company then it means you're doing it completely wrong. You and your boss are completely retarded.

buy a couple of surveillance HDDs and just pagefile the entire thing

Enjoy getting fired by your boss when the server inevitably fails catastrophically.

I bet you haven't even considered whether they support ECC or not have you OP? Building servers is different then the retard proof custom gaming desktops. Stop now before you waste everyone's time.

This.

That said, 32GB and 64GB LRDIMM's are a thing, but available in DDR4 only.

If you don't know what you're doing, and your boss doesn't know that, I'd suggest going to Dell or HP, because the help and support will enable you to cover your ass if something breaks.

Fucking this.
No one worth their money builds their own server in a production environment.

>your fault if shit breaks
>costs more time than just buying
>no support when shit breaks.

>>58270758
I'll mirror everyone's sentiments and ask you to just call up a company and ask them to do it.
If you build it and it fails, it's your fault, even something as innocuous as RAM.
Do it if you feel lucky, but if you're asking this, you probably shouldn't.

>>58270773
He's lying.

My boss asked me to do the same thing in 04. We ended up with a dual xeon 3.0 ht, liquid cooled, 4gbddr, raid 10 monstrosity because boss had seen it in a magazine. It lived 6 years (with yearly dustings and coolant flushes every 2 years) before I bought it, put it back on air, and use it as a bench rig. It still chugs right along, I'm about to fill it with DVD drives and rip a bunch of obscure dvds.
It's fun to do if done right, and they can last a long time. While I wouldn't say it's bonding with the boss, it's probably something he can't do and he knows this and when you do it instead of pushing a pre-built, he'll notice, in a good way.
Its much easier with server grade hardware as opposed to finicky enthusiast boards.
32gb is fine, stick with reputable brands and get an extended warranty on all hardware. Buy hds locally.

I recently built a new PC and I think my ram stick are faulty as fuck. I keep getting a blue screen with "Memory_Management" error.

What should I do?

>>58279397
I have 12 gbs of ram and use 6-8gbs normally. Depends how u use your computer, pleb

I love these threads. It's hilarious how elitist these computer janitors get. You're just cable pluggers, stop pretending you work at NASA, rofl.
