hello good day.

i've been having problem with the lack of ram here for a while.

and i got loads. and i mean loads of registered ecc ram.

problem is.

the gigabyte g1 guerrila does not support ecc memory. okay fair game.


then it occoured to me...

the memory controller... is on the cpu... the cpu... supports that...

the xeon x5675 and other x58 chips have the memory controller on them


isnt it just a matter of adding bios support for that type of ram at this point?

i do not really care about any ecc stuff.

i just want to have a normal amount of ram in my system and getting normal ddr3 dimms is kinda hard here.

@sebaskitty - ECC probably works, registered may (ie probably) not. I see many using ECC non-registered on G1.xxxx X58 boards.
See here, this user says certain registered may work (but most I see are using non-reg) - https://www.overclock.net/forum/26497748-post13090.html

yeah i know. i got a couple of ecc 2gb dimms here. and a couple of normal ddr3. mixing them causes weird system freezes.

and seperate it is not enough ram to game on it.



i also have alot of 4gb and 8gb ecc registered dimms and it would not post with any of them in.

i dont expect the 8gb reg dimms to function. but the 4gb ones would be nice..

so i'm wondering if its possible to add support for reg ecc to the bios. since memory is managed by the cpu.

I'd expect that as well, and wouldn't mix ECC w/ non-ECC

It may be possible to add non-reg functionality, but I don't know how to do it, maybe someone else knows how but for this I'd expect only Gigabyte could make it happen.
Shoot them an email to request, you never know, maybe they already made such BIOS years ago for someone and would send it to you
