SR-2s are not x58 chipset so it would work as they are xeon boards and xeons have the ability to use ECC memory unlike the consumer x58 chipset and its corresponding cpus

They run the same socket but they do use an Intel based chipset, the 5520.. Here's the CPU list from another one of the boards I have, Gigabyte X58A-OC - https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-X58A-OC-rev-10#support-cpu

That's not all of them but it seems it might work with some I'll see what I have here and see if I can do some testing... I have both Server ECC ram and standard Desktop ram here, so I'll see if it works

EDIT - https://www.evga.com/support/motherboard/legacy/ - It seems it might be possible with the other EVGA Classified boards I have.. I'll need to do a bit more digging as I think the both of mine (759 and 762) are revision 1 boards and not 2. If they were, it would have worked out the box... (Damn shame that is!!)

Yo phill Is it ECC RAM that you have Registered or unbuffered?

Gimme a sec

A link to the ram

https://www.serversupply.com/MEMORY/PC3-10600/8GB/SAMSUNG/M393B1K70DH0-CH9Q9.htm

By the link, it tells me Registered and ECC? I've 12 sticks installed in my SR-2.. I did have some Corsair 4Gb sticks in there, 48Gb total then They where -

Corsair Vengeance 1866Mhz 9-10-9-27

I hope that's of some help I'm hoping to be grabbing a few more sticks from work at some point, will be interesting if I can get some 8Gb sticks, 12 x 8, 96Gb... Will be interesting I've a few spare for the moment....

THX phill....Can you check if you might have some of the ECC Reg. 2Rx4 and tried them as well because as I mention before after loong search seems like that 2Rx8 Reg is working and that 2Rx4 do not.......

 

[phill]

As far as I'm aware, all of this is ECC? Are they 4Gb and 8Gb sticks?

 

[Zyll Goliat]

Well...yes all of them are ECC registered RAM also seems like some of them are also 8 gb sticks...here this link that guy claim that 48 gb of reg ECC memory is working on his Asus P6T Deluxe and they are also 2Rx8.....

I've not had any issues with my SR-2 running this ram and it's been WCG crunching as well, so if there where any errors, that would have (I'd like to have thought!!) definitely shown itself...

When I can get a my new PSUs sent to me by my best mate I'll see what I can do

This is incorrect. All Xeon's running in X58 will be able to use ECC as the memory controller dictates RAM support. However, the Registered ECC is a different story and seems to be a mystery ATM.

I was just going to post this. You beat me to it. LOL! Nice.
Really shows the X58 is still holding it's own after all these years..

 

[DooM3]

My kung-fu 4.4ghz 2400mhz

It is unbelievable that after all these years the X58 platform has yet to be said.

Yeah....still really capable platform...I was thinking maybe to switch on X79 or maybe Ryzen but there is no need for it...I think I will just add more RAM and probablly get better GPU.....I just wish if Intel made 8 &10 core Westmere for 1366 socket....Anyway there are those 8-10 core Westmere-EX CPU´s for LGA 1567 socket but these are only for server purposes....

 

[lyra]

Just gotta go dual socket... Lmao but then the price of an sr2 nukes your price per dollar

Unless you don't care to OC, then a Dell T5500 or T7500 work work well and are generally inexpensive for a whole system.

Yeah i used to have a proliant ml350 g6 was a trooper but at stock speeds it was causing bottlenecks going to x58 and adding 20% to the performance was what made westmere shine for me. The extra performance you squeeze out from overclocking is what keeps westmere and x58 in the game and relevent

Gotta disagree here. I am currently running a Dell T3500 with an X5680, 48GB of RAM and an RTX 2080. I have very few bottlenecking problems. Bottlenecking is happening in some games but not enough to justify an upgrade just yet. The Socket2011 Xeons have been tempting me somewhat though..

Well...IPC is still more important then core count but there are games now that loves all those cores/threads and in that case you probablly not going to notice as much bottlenecking on that RTX 2080.....

Wow can't wait to run this Cpu

keep us posted....I am eager to see some benchmarks on that puppy

 

[phill]

10 core goodness Looking forward to seeing the results!! Have you got another one as well or just the one??

We've got 10 of those atm

What kind are your memories? I have tried to plug in 48GB too and didn't boot. Mine were 8GB ECC reg, 2Rx4.
Maybe indeed they have to be 2Rx8?

 

[phill]

We've got 10 of those atm

Will they be used in single or dual or more configurations for testing etc?
