So far no progress there - hopping to be contacted by them in the next future. Working with Intel support is a little bit challenging - first, their system identification utility from their support web site didn't work as expeced and retrieved no mem infos at all, then the results couldn't be downloaded or retrieved to/from their servers and even sending all info per email turned out as an unexpected timly consuming tryout (I had to contact the support line three times to get the appropriate email address ). ) specs - only 'unbuffered ECC' is supported on all X58 boards/chipsetsī) any ECC memory simm module above 4GB I kown is 'registered ECC' and so won't workĬ) I also have read in some specs for the DX58SO2 about 48GB MEM support - but regarding such atypical and mysterious specs in other products in the past I would assume this might refer to 'unavailable' unbufferer MEM (ECC or nonECC) with 8GB size (maybe this MEM is available in the future)ĭ) I think the W3690 may also work in (some) MB with the i55xx chipset and support in this scenario 'registered ECC with more than 4GB per memory module' - but I don't know any i55xx chipset MB with only one CPU socked so far.Īfter getting in touch with Intel I also contacted the Kingston support (since I guessed it could also be a MEM / SPD problem). April)Ĭ) ECC seems not to be activated/dectected - although, the Kingston website shows the board as 'supported' for the memoryĭ) I would suggest that 'supported' on both Intel and Kingston specs indicate 'works as expected' and not 'the board do not crash - but you don't get ECC functionality'Īlso some additional comments on 'Bryan' and 'toad096' on ECC memory size:Ī) so far as I understand and found in various MB (Intel, ASUS, Supermicro.

Just some further thoughs on the problem:Ī) the board is so far stable (did some testing and benchmarking)ī) 24 GB memory is detected in both bios and win 7 (actually I'm using windows 7 圆4 enterprise + sp1 + fixes up 14.
