Hi everyone!, I've been considering setting up a server a while back, aiming for at least 128GB RAM, around 30 threads, with each thread running over 4Gb and ECC support. Initially, I thought about the Threadripper, but then I saw this in the new Ryzen 7000 lineup: https://www.amd.com/en/product/12151. Good news—the latest generation officially supports ECC and can handle up to 128GB RAM! That sounds promising, possibly pushing the limits while offering solid value. Threadripper remains more budget-friendly, but remember, motherboards, chips, and RAM aren't cheap. The key question is... Ryzen 7950 (and similar models) only allow two RAM sticks, so reaching 128GB would require two 64GB modules—but I haven’t found any 64GB RAM in stock. Would anyone know where to buy DDR5 64GB? Thanks!

Most AM5 boards currently support four memory slots, allowing you to install four sticks. They operate in dual-channel mode rather than quad-channel.

The method involved using dual-channel to mimic a single RAM slot. This works well! I couldn't locate ECC MEMS support yet. The AMD documentation mentions ECC support is available (depends on motherboard compatibility). Regarding DDR5 32GB, it appears many options are tailored for Intel platforms. When dual-channel is enabled, performance typically halves, so you'd need twice the 64GB modules instead of four 32GB ones. Thanks!

The goal is to understand what works best for performance. My initial setup focused on feeding the CPU with enough resources, starting with the RAM. I’ve added various tasks like spatial analysis, physics modeling, and math simulations, often relying on a combination of CPU strength plus ample RAM and sustained operation. With the available RAM, I believe ECC would be beneficial. I came across this link: https://www.kingston.com/es/memory/serve...fered-dimm. I’m reviewing motherboard options to see if they match these specs. It seems unusual that Kingston doesn’t support ECC on certain boards, but I’m still figuring things out. No part list yet—thank you for your guidance, I’m still learning!
