    How can I tell if a DIMM is Load Reduced?

    At the last minute, I ended up getting this memory instead: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820242278 It says 2400, but it is 2Rx4 .... what is the difference between 2Rx4 and 2Rx8 ?

    How can I tell if a DIMM is Load Reduced?

    Alright guys, I'm taking one for the team. I'll report back if it works with the E5-1650v4 chip that I purchased along with the ASROCK Taichi 2011-v3 motherboard (which is super sweet looking).

    How can I tell if a DIMM is Load Reduced?

    I was looking at this memory: https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-DDR4-2133-Server-Memory-M393A4K40BB0-CPB/dp/B00X04FO9K/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1481751920&sr=8-2&keywords=32GB+ddr4+ECC I want to use it with a 1650v4 CPU, but I have heard that the 16xx family Xeons do not support LRDIMMs. How can...

    Single 32GB DDR4 SODIMM -- where are they?

    Is there any technical reason they can't be produced? There are lots of smaller motherboards that support Skylake processors with 2 SODIMM slots that could benefit from the extra RAM.

    Best 2011-v3 motherboard with 12 DIMM slots for E5-1650v4 processor?

    I am looking for a motherboard with 12 DIMM slots that will be used with an E5-1650v4 CPU. Since the E5-16xx family doesn't support LR-Dimms, I'm limited to 32GB memory DIMMs. I would like to maximize the amount of memory I can install in this situation. Can anyone recommend a decent...

    Maximum number of NVMe drives for a motherboard?

    So looking at a board like this (https://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon/C600/X10SRL-F.cfm), would I be able to populate it with 4 x of the Samsung 960 Pro 2Tb NVEm cards? I'm building a server to run Postgres with a very large database on a ZFS filesystem using LZ4 compression...

    Maximum number of NVMe drives for a motherboard?

    How would one easily determine the maximum number of NVMe drives a motherboard could support? Would it depend on the number of PCIe lanes? The number of slots? Are there any NVMe PCIe boards that allow two NVMe drives (for an x8 PCIe slot?) Thanks!

    E5-1650 v3 vs E5-1650 v4

    What's strange is that Passmark shows the v3 to be faster (although there is currently only one 1650 v4 sample). PassMark - CPU Performance Comparison

    Is Intel becoming irrelevant?

    First they laid off 12,000 of their workforce. Now they are cancelling "Braxton," their (previously) upcoming Atom chip and have conceded defeat to ARM in the mobile market. They're apparently bowing out of the PC market as well. What the hell is happening? Is there something going on within...

    Where are the E5-16xx v4 chips?

    Intel released the 26xx chips on March 31, but I don't see the 16xx Xeons anywhere or any mention of a release date for them.

    Worth waiting for Broadwell-E?

    Does anyone know when the Xeon Broadwell E5's will be available? I am having difficulty finding a release date online. Thanks!

    Anyone going 10 Core Broadwell?

    Do you know anything about software design or computer science? There are many problems that don't work well with parallel optimizations. This is probably one of the worse comments I've read on this board -- which usually consists of people very knowledgeable about computers.

    Release date for E5-16xx v4 Xeons?

    I'm having a hard time finding a release date online for these chips. Isn't it supposed to be this quarter?
