Hey guys,
I am trying to understand if this combination will work, and this is confusing:
Supermicro X9SCL (Supermicro | Products | Motherboards | Xeon® Boards | X9SCL)
CPU Intel i3 3240 (Intel® Core™ i3-3240 Processor (3M Cache, 3.40 GHz) Specifications)
Ram (not decided yet).
The issue is that the Supermicro's website clearly states
But also states:
Single socket H2 (LGA 1155) supports Intel® Xeon® E3-1200 & E3-1200 v2 series, 2nd and 3rd Gen Core i3 processors***, Pentium, Celeron
I am about to pair this board with a i3 3240 CPU which according to Intel's ARK page does NOT support ECC, but newer i3 editions do support ECC.
So do I absolutely need ECC memory with this motherboard?
Will the i3 3240 work with ECC memory?
I have found references where people seems to use this particular motherboard with the same CPU but all seems to run ECC ram.. I just need to know from someone's experience if this going to work.

The issue is that the Supermicro's website clearly states
- 4x 240-pin DDR3 DIMM sockets
- Supports up to 32 GB DDR3 ECC Un-Buffered memory (UDIMM)
- 1333/1600MHz*** ECC DDR3 SDRAM 72-bit, 240-pin gold-plated DIMMs
