Hey folks,
I'm planning on building a X99-System I had a dual cpu Westmere-EP and an Ivy-Bridge-EP workstation, both with registered DDR3 modules because they were very cheap in used condition.
Prices on DDR4-modules are high yet but when the first servers are upgraded prices for the used 4GB or 8GB registered modules will be low *hopefully*.
Since I can't decide whether to use a i7-5xxx cpu or Xeon E5 v3 in the long run (and maybe have to test other CPUs) here my Question:
Can I run registered modules with e.g. a i7-5820k? In most cases registered modules come with ECC and i know that ECC isn't supported by the i7 and hence won't be used. But what about the registered thingy with i7? It's pretty unclear to me...
The mainboard for my build will probably be the GA-X99-UD4. In revision 1.1 there's support for RDIMM 1Rx8/2Rx8/1Rx4/2Rx4 configuration, in 1.0 only RDIMM 1Rx8. Has there been any change in the X99 chipset?
A big thanks in advance for your help on clarification
