ECC DDR3 is cheaper overall actually. 64GB costs about $100 on eBay while a comparable DRAM setup for a standard PC can easily run twice that.
Much much cheaper

I bought 24GB for 96€
I see 24GB for $35 USD

That's why i asked about ECC support

It's very affordable and offers good performance and stability

My Hynix 4Gbit MFR based Reg ECC DDR3 sticks did DDR3-2400 no problem, scaling was basically identical to their non-ECC counterparts.

My SR 2 has arrived today.


The Machine it's working, my main concern was the Ram, I had 4 x 2Gb lying around and decide to give it a try, it looks like the board works with any DDR3, after i put all together and installed W7 Ultimate i did a bios update.

Overclock?

Yes i will after i get the 24GB G.Skill RipjawsX that i have ordered yesterday.

It was either that or just plain jealousy..:D

My PC is faster than another guys 6600K + GTX 1070 in CSGO, like over 2x faster, he barely get's more than 130FPS, whilst i can hit upwards of 500.

Don't know what's going on there.
