I like to ask a question about memory configuration for the Gigabyte MZ31-AR0 motherboard:
AMD EPYC 7000 | Server Motherboard - GIGABYTE B2B Service
As can be seen the layout of the PCIe slots is rather poorly designed, I like that it is equipped with plenty PCIe slots but any full length PCIe cards make it impossible to utilize memory banks E0 until H1. (Please see manual MZ31-AR0 (rev. 1.x) | Server Motherboard - GIGABYTE B2B Service).
My question is this: If I am content with using 128gb memory and want to use all 8 memory channels on the board can I place ram modules just into banks A0 until D1 (=8 slots)? It does not appear clear to me from the manual how to configure memory on this board. I am thinking of using 8 16gb memory modules and like to know whether I get 8-channel support if I only populate slots A0 -> D1 (please see the manual linked above if unclear about the memory slot encoding).
Thanks a thousand
Matt
