Before I begin, I want to first state I know that the Core i7 3930K does not support ECC. My intention in using ECC RDIMM's is I have a dual socket workstation motherboard which can be used with only a single socket occupied.
I intend to use the Core i7 3930K in this motherboard for a temporary basis until I get two XEON's. But I need to buy Memory now.
The motherboard itself lists compatibility with both the Core i7 3930K and RDIMM's but they are listed separately in the CPU QVL and then in the RAM QVL. The two have not been to my research tried together.
So I'm curious, will the 3930K work with ECC RDIMM memory or it will it not even boot? And again I'm not looking for ECC to actually function as this is just a stop-gap processor until I get my XEON's.
If nobody knows I'll play it safe and get ECC UDIMM which I know does work 100% but they are a bit more pricey and the voltage is higher so I'd prefer to go with the RDIMM's.
Thanks for any insight guys!
