I have been reading the hardware section on boards and cpu's, and as I have a Intel i3-3220 3rd gen cpu, I read this with interest:
This (the X9SCM) is a socket 1155 board so it uses the E3-1200v2 series and 2nd and 3rd gen i3s, Pentiums and Celerons.
Then in the CPU section it says:
Middle-of-the-road
Update: Per this thread the 2nd Generation and 3rd generation i3s do not have ECC support (there are a few exceptions, but they are so expensive that you'd be better off buying a Xeon at the prices the i3s are selling at).
Then according to Supermicro's site :
Key Features
1. Single socket H2 (LGA 1155) supports
Intel® Xeon® E3-1200 & E3-1200 v2
series, 2nd and 3rd Gen Core i3
processors***, Pentium, Celeron
I have had this setup for almost a year now, and never realised that the cpu may not support ECC ram.
So does it or doesn't it. I would say it does, but I stand to be corrected.
