Cloud Ninjas' Gigabyte X399 DESIGNARE EX Memory Upgrade Tips

• The total number of DIMMS for the X399 DESIGNARE EX motherboard is 4 slots.
• The X399 DESIGNARE EX supports 4GB, 8GB, and 16GB DDR4 ECC unbuffered DIMMs. The max amount of RAM the X399 DESIGNARE EX motherboard can hold is 64GB of Unbuffered memory (UDIMM).
• The Dell PowerEdge X399 DESIGNARE EX server does not support load-reduced (LRDIMM) or Registered (RDIMM) memory.
• The X399 DESIGNARE EX supports speeds up to 2666 MT/s.
• When purchasing new memory it is best to purchase identical memory modules to what your system already has. Your current server system configuration will determine the supported DIMM type and speed.
• Think Long Term! Purchase the maximum amount that your X399 DESIGNARE EX motherboard can hold and avoid wasting time and money on modules you won't be able to use if you upgrade again.

Gigabyte X399 DESIGNARE EX Questions & Answers

1. What sizes can you use for the X399 DESIGNARE EX?
The X399 DESIGNARE EX motherboard can be upgraded using 4, 8, and 16GB UDIMMs. Get your kit at https://cloudninjas.com/


2. What speeds are supported by the Gigabyte X399 DESIGNARE EX?
The X399 DESIGNARE EX motherboard supports only ECC and Non-ECC unbuffered memory (UDIMM).


3. What is ECC Registered Memory?
The X399 DESIGNARE EX motherboard does not support registered memory with ECC. ECC memory detects and corrects memory errors within the server environment. Registered (also called buffered) memory modules register between DRAM modules and the system's memory controller. ECC Registered Memory transfers less electrical load to your memory controller which makes it more stable and reliable


4. What is Unbuffered memory?
The X399 DESIGNARE EX supports unbuffered memory with ECC or Non-ECC. Unbuffered memory is memory that has no register between your DRAM and your system's memory controller.


5. What is Load Reduced Memory?
The X399 DESIGNARE EX motherboard does not support load reduced DIMM (LRDIMM). Load reduced DIMM is designed with a buffer chip (or chips) to replace the register to help minimize loading, the LRDIMM increases server system memory capacity and speed. LRDIMM differs from low capacity, low voltage registered memory modules (LV RDIMM).


6. Can I mix ECC Reg with ECC unbuffered or Non-ECC memory?
The X399 DESIGNARE EX motherboard does support unbuffered memory with ECC or Non-ECC, but it is advised to not mix ECC and Non-ECC modules.


7. What is Max Configuration for the X399 DESIGNARE EX?
The X399 DESIGNARE EX Server supports the standard maximum configuration of 64GB using 8x16GB UDIMM.


8. How many memory channels per CPU?
The X399 DESIGNARE EX motherboard has 4 channels which houses 2 memory sockets each, for a total of 8 memory sockets.


9. How do I identify the start of the memory channel?
The X399 DESIGNARE EX motherboard, requires memory to be installed into the first white channel marked A1 for Processor.


10. Where can I order memory for my server?
Order your memory at https://cloudninjas.com/ by finding and selecting the memory package that is right for you.


11. How soon will my RAM arrive?
