ECC ddr3L ram + Dx58SO

888uno888 · Nov 10, 2017

Can I use ECC ddr3L ram in a Dx58SO board (with a xeon of course)? I know that the board does not support ddr3L or ECC ram natively but with the x5650 internal memory controller it should be possible.

If I can at least get ECC memory to work in this board I'd be happy.

If the board don't support it, it don't support it.

888uno888 :

"Support for non-ECC memory"
-Intel Technical Specs Manual for your motherboard

So, yeah, not gonna happen.
I read that DDR3L is backwards compatible with DDR3 1.5v so the DDR3L shouldn't be an issue but the ECC is.

If you put ECC RAM into a non-ECC motherboard, you can cause catastrophic damage to both. I made that mistake once and the system nearly caught fire.

This page says ECC is supported.

I guess that is only if you use a xeon cpu. However, no sign of ''registered'' ram..

And this on the same page:
''Note that ECC memory support requires both processor and chipset support''

The criteria obviously is not for i7 cpus but xeon. Whether the board supports registered ram and ddr3L is another issue.
