Hello

 

I am building a new machine, and looks like I bought a wrong type of memory

 

I have X11SSH-F motherboard

My CPU is Xeon  E3-1270 V6

 

The manual says "Up to 64GB Unbuffered ECC UDIMM DDR4 2400MHz; 4 DIMM slots"

 

Is it strictly required to use a ECC memory?

 

I struggle to find 4 pieces of ECC Unbuffered 16GB memory

 

 

Can I use a non-ECC?

 

 

I already spent 800$ on the registered memory :-(

 

 

Please help

 

thanks,

Yes, and unbuffered ECC is not much more expensive then non ECC and much cheaper than registered ECC.

Thanks

 

I seems can't find it on Amazon, will look again

 

Here is a link to the same Crucial unbuffered ECC RAM that I have in my main server.  It is $179 per 16GB module.  RAM prices are crazy right now.  I paid $89 each on Amazon a little over a year ago.  This is very good RAM and hard to find.

Oops, just noticed that even though it looks like you can place this RAM in your cart and order it, at checkout it says it is on backorder.

Yeah, just noticed that and edited my post as you were making this reply.

Ordered 4 chips of Samsung. 1000$ crazy

 

Here is some Kingston unbuffered ECC RAM that appears to be in stock.  I almost bought this same RAM before I found the Crucial RAM for a lower price a year ago:

It is $201 per stick and will save you $200.

That's the model I'm using in one of my X11SSM-F, works perfect.

Installed today Samsung chips - for the record these are Samsung M391A2K43BB1-CRC 16GB DDR4-2400 ECC UDIMM

They even had a "Supermicro" sticker on them besides Samsung,

 

Worked flawlessly
