BUILD Build with Kingston "Intel Validated" RAM.

[panz]

My fingers are just hesitating over the cart's "Order Now" button. This is the build, then my questions:

1) Intel Xeon E3-1230 V2;
2) Supermicro X9SCM-F;
3) Kingston KVR16E11K4/32I

Halt!
It says KVR16E11K4/32I with an "I" at the end.

Kingston Memory Search Tool says that compatibility with X9SCM-F is assured only for KVR16E11K4/32 (without "I").

Specs seem the same; "I" means Intel Validated (?).

Has anyone experience with the "I" version?

No experience with the "I" version, but wouldn't the Server Premier memory be better -- and probably not much price difference? That's what I ordered for my X10SL7-F.

I had the same issue. I was about to buy the Kingston "Elpida" verified ECC RAM. I said **** it, and ordered it. It was fine.

Just order it.

Thanks to all. The price isn't the same: I can order the 32GB KIT of Intel validated for about $ 90 less than the not validated :)

The one you chose:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820239371 $380.99 (but currently out of stock)

"Server Premium" (sold as individual modules, not as a kit):

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820239649 $100.99 for 8GB

So a mere $23 difference for 32GB of the Supermicro-recommended memory.

(Might have to wait a while for the items for my new build because of the East Coast weather: everything's still in New Jersey.)

Panz, how did the "I" turn out? I face a similar quandary...

I wrote to Kingston tech support and they said the only tested the non-I version with my board so I decided to purchase the right memory.

I have had good success with Crucial memory, although I do not have that same board.

 

[panz]

Was that Crucial RAM tested with your board?

 

[raidflex]

It was not officially on the Supermicro compatibility list. On the website it only listed Hynix or Samsung. More then likely the chips used on the memory I have is either Samsung or Hynix.

I mean, was it on the compatibility list you can check on the Crucial website?

I'm considering Kingston KVR16E11K4/32I 32GB 1600MHz DDR3 ECC CL11 DIMM I (Kit of 4) or 4 x Kingston KVR1333D3E9S-8G 8GB 1333MHz DDR3 ECC Unbuffered CL9 DIMM = 32GB.
I also just noticed "I" in the KVR16E11K4/32I kit description. I know that both types of memory should be compatible with the motherboard that I intend to get - ASUS M5A99FX Pro R2.0.
KVR16E11K4/32I is 1600MHz CL11, 4 x KVR1333D3E9S-8G will be 1333MHz CL9

Does anyone have any suggestions which memory to choose?
Thank you.

For information. I'm using Kingston KVR16E11K4/32I with Supermicro MBD-X10SLH-F-O. It is working just great.

Thank you for the confirmation that KVR16E11K4/32I works fine with the Supermicro MBD-X10SLH-F-O motherboard. I understand that this is LGA 1150 Intel C226 and therefore "I" (Intel Compatibility Tested) at the end of the memory model makes sense. I was wondering whether such memory will also work with AMD AM3+ motherboards, e.g. ASUS M5A99FX Pro R2.0.
I've sent inquiry to Kingston technical support and will report back when I hear from them.
