64GB LRDIMM DDR3 ECC ram for $20 or less

[Markess]

I have 250gb ram and even though they are 1600mhz, bios will say they are operating 1333mhz and if I add more, it will even go down to 800mhz. And the RAMs are running in independent mode. I am running X9DRI-LNF4. Are you getting full RAM speed?

As @wildpig1234 mentions, the more you have, the slower it goes.

There's chart's in the Manual for your motherboard that will tell you how slow. Find the chart for your CPU (v1 or v2) and RAM (RDIMM or LRDIMM) types, then find the line corresponding to the "Ranks Per DIMM and Data Width" for your specific RAM. From there, it will list the maximum speed(s) based on how many memory slots per channel you have populated.

I got my sticks at like $13 each, 100 sticks, and they all run at 1600MHz on my v4 Xeon DL580 gen9

Generally, LRDIMMs don't slow down as badly as RDIMMs do--that's the whole point of LRDIMMs.

These are extremely power hungry. My dl580 idles at 650w

I picked powerful and cheap.

Typically my goto as well.

I figured that I needed larger Valkey(Redis) cache instances. And since Valkey is crazy fast, v2 cpus are plenty. So these modules are super cheap way to get a BIG cache. No need throw that generation into the garbage yet

One use case I use Valkey for is mapping of id <-> external_id, some databases really suck if you want to do lookup by id AND OR externalid.

Does v4 Xeon take DDR3?

Does v4 Xeon take DDR3?

sure if you can stomach a 650w idle power consumption (or more)

Does v4 Xeon take DDR3?

It depends on the socket. The entry level Xeons might while the LGA 2011-3 Xeons do not accept DDR3.

Does v4 Xeon take DDR3?

only the E7s V4 LGA2011

For EU Citizen 64gb DDR3L good to know - £24.00 if needed.
