Hey guys ! Some months ago I snatched up a pristine condition GA-X58A-UD5 in my local area (cost me only 20 dollars or so, when I convert TRL to USD ). Since I would hate to just sell it off , I recently ordered a x5650, got a FSP Windale 6 in a similar good local deal and got some MX-4. I plan to push this cpu as far as I possibly can . Yesterday while I was wandering around in used forums for some triple channel ram I came across some 1333mhz 8gb ECC ram for INCREDIBLY cheap. I was naturally intrigued, so I looked it up and saw a few forum posts of people that were able to run ECC ram on similar motherboards with Xeons. I'm about to pull the trigger and order 3 8gb sticks but I'm hesitant. I know next to nothing about ECC memory, will the memory being unbuffered or registered affect compability ? I wanted at least 1600mhz Ram, as I will probably use this pc for gaming, are the ECC memory modules overclockable ? Thanks in advance !
