bobbintb Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 (edited) I am planning on building a new UnRaid server that will also run a few gaming machines with a Threadripper. I would like to get ECC RAM for the server but I don't really know how that will perform for gaming. It looks like a lot of the ECC RAM is much slower than RAM designed for gaming. Would it make much of a difference to use the slower ECC RAM for gaming? Would I be better off putting ECC only in a few DIMMS and gaming RAM in the rest? Will that even work?

ChatNoir Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Considering the maximum spec for Zen architecture, there is ECC RAM at 3200MHz.

I believe Zen3 only takes unbuffered. I did see Kingston RAM that will work, which just appears to be the same RAM you posted but their branding. Unfortunately, it's literally the only one I have found that is ECC unbuffered, unless I want a smaller module size. I'd rather avoid that so it doesn't complicate future upgrades.
