- pedrocr 7y ago128GB of ECC RAM itself is going to be ~800-1000$ as far as I can find some to fit in a Ryzen build. So it won't be trivial to reach the price point for a full build although Ryzen is clearly great value anyway.
- greatjack613 7y agoTrue, but only if ECC is necessary. In this case where he is mainly using the server for experiments and to try software, regular ram will do absolutely fine. Here is a 128gb kit for under $600 dollars. https://www.newegg.com/corsair-128gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820233946 https://www.newegg.com/corsair-128gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N8...
- close04 7y ago> only if ECC is necessary If your workloads require 128GB of RAM then you probably want ECC. You'd be skimping in the wrong place.
- ska 7y ago> True, but only if ECC is necessary. big "if" there really, and that makes it an apples-and-oranges comparison IMO.
- mciancia 7y agoThis is kit of 8 sticks. Ryzen supports max of 4 dimms, so you need 32GB per stick.
- abarringer 7y agoI received a price quote on HPE ECC Server RAM this week from HPE that is $230 per 64GB stick. So make that $500 with shipping and tax for 128GB.
- pedrocr 7y agoConsumer Ryzen requires unbuffered ECC RAM so most usual RAM options are not compatible.
