Is a Threadripper build with 128GB unbuffered ECC RAM at 2400+ Mhz a realistic goal?
Threadripper only takes unbuffered RAM, which really limits my options.
here is my problem:
I can't do 4x32 Gb sticks because I can't find unregistered ECC 32Gb sticks, much less single rank ones.
I could do 8x16 Gb memory sticks, but with all 8 slots filled with dual rank, the max rated speed is 1866 according to this: AMD Threadripper System Buyer's Guide I have 2 4x16Gb kits on backorder, but it doesn't seem ideal to me.
I could possibly get up to 2133 if I found single rank 16GB unregistered ECC chips, but I haven't been able to find those either.
So, is there any path to get to 128GB @ 2400 Mhz or more on Threadripper other than buying a ton of memory sticks, finding a few that play nice together, and selling off the remainder?
