The need for ECC memory for use at home is far FAR overrated.

Why don't you see X399 boards providing real support for 64GB of ECC memory? What does not providing real support for ECC memory mean? Simply that you don't find any ECC memory in the Memory QVL of these boards? Threadripper processor's memory controller supports ECC memory, although you'll need to dig through AMD's specs to find it. Apparently not cool to support ECC memory? Next, if we check the specs of both of the ASRock X399 boards, we find this: Supports DDR4 3600+(OC)/3200(OC)/2933(OC)/2667/2400/2133 ECC & non-ECC, un-buffered memory That's at least a basic spec for ECC support. If we check Crucial's mother board compatibility for the Crucial CT16G4XFD824A you asked about, I had a hard time finding any X399 boards at all. So if Crucial doesn't yet know, yes that is kind of questionable. Of course their compatibility list is not filtered by ECC support, so I found my ASRock X370 board supporting that memory, while compatible Ryzen processors do not support ECC memory. That inspires confidence, right? ![]() That's the best I can tell you currently. It looks like the memory manufactures are getting caught unprepared with Threadripper as badly as they were (are) with Ryzen. |

Hello
I globaly trust in Asrock more than others regarding the follow up on BIOS updates and product quality. This is why I dare posting here hoping for an answer :) I'm currently thinking of building a big personal home server (multipurpose). Threadripper is a big oportunity for my project. Since this project is pretty much important in term of data/calculation, also I will be using ubuntu and open ZFS filesystem. In my case 64GB of ECC memory is a must have I dont see x399 motherboards providing real support for 64GB ECC ... :/ From what I could see the following memory modules are configured in Epyc CPU configurations (up to 2 TB). Can I expect 64GB ECC on one of theses boards ?? or any future TR motherboard products ?? Edited by sfchun - 28 Aug 2017 at 9:45am |
