eknee1417 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 In the process of upgrading my box and would like to re-use my existing core since it so power efficient. Are there any boards that support ECC memory that I can use the core in? Link to comment
garycase Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I presume by "... my existing core ..." you mean your current CPU. What's the model # of the CPU? Link to comment
sgibbers17 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Just about any intel sever board supports ecc. As far as I know there are no intel desktop boards that support it. If you want recommendations you need to provide more info. I have a asrock c226 was with ecc ram. Link to comment
eknee1417 Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 The model # is in the title of the post. Intel i3-3220T LGA 1155. Link to comment
garycase Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 There are a lot of Socket 1155 boards that support ECC memory and your CPU. For example: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157355 Link to comment

I've always used desktop components but I've recently experienced some issues with my non ECC ram. Is there anything to consider with server mobos when picking one? Otherwise I'll just follow the basic principles I do with desktop builds. Thanks everyone! Link to comment
garycase Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Is there anything to consider with server mobos when picking one? Just choose a quality brand [superMicro, Intel, Asus, AsRock are all good brands ... SuperMicro is probably the best in class if they have a board with the features you want; AsRock is typically the best value] ... and be sure the board you choose has the slots you need for add-on cards and any specific features you want to have [e.g. IPMI is a VERY nice feature for totally headless operation. It's on many SuperMicro boards and some others. e.g http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813182253 ] Link to comment

eknee1417 Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 Thanks everyone! Hoping to pick something up in the next few weeks as I finally got done testing my latest hdd (boy was that a disaster, see my post in hard drive section, ). Link to comment
