Been running unraid on an old MSI consumer board, and Gskill RAM, for 6ish years. I'm using an i3 4170 which has been fine for my needs. Considering going ECC. Would this combo work okay?

$170 CAD. Which is about what I want to spend (200ish)

 

Thanks

 

 

Should be fine, though 1600MT/s RAM would be better.

Thanks. 

 

I've never noticed the difference between 1333 vs 1600. I'm sure it might show up in benchmarks. Is there anything specific that 1600 would really help with in unraid? 

 

Edit: found some 1600 from the same seller as the board. Works out cheaper too.  https://www.ebay.ca/itm/275230676383 

From what I'm reading it should be compatible but I'm not %100 sure, heh

There shouldn't be much difference, but since the prices should be about the same might as well go with the faster one.
