preparing for X99 launch and Hynix DDR4 ECC 8GB (1x8gb) is being sold on eBay for £56 (2133mhz) I do not plan on overclocking my ram, so do I need a heat spreader?
Should I get some of this ram for the X99 launch as it is reasonably priced or wait for Non-ECC Dimms with heat spreaders?
Also, will X99 Motherboards work with 288-pin DIMMS?
Thanks for the responses much appreciated
