09:23 jnettlet> topi`_, good numbers to hear. 16GBs memory is the max right now. 32 is not support yet.
09:23 jnettlet> 2Ghz should work on your board but only 2133 DDR clock speeds. 2400 will produce errors.
10:16 Ke> jnettlet: so 32GiB ecc is plausibly supported at some point
10:16 Ke> ?
10:19 jnettlet> Ke, most likely not on this revision.
10:19 jnettlet> although with quad core 2GHz, I don't know many workflows that 32GBs would be useful.
10:28 Ke> jnettlet: there is something in hw that fails ECC?
10:28 jnettlet> Ke, no ECC works, the 32GiB is what doesn't. so 16GiB ECC will work fine.
10:28 jnettlet> registered DIMMs do not worok
10:29 Ke> but ECC does not work yet with current mv-ddr, right?
10:29 jnettlet> with the latest mv-ddr it does
10:30 jnettlet> ecc has always worked, it was registered memory that didn't. That was incorrectly communicated out.
10:38 Ke> jnettlet: you mean: 16GiB registeres ECC works with latest mv-ddr?
10:38 Ke> or ECC in general
10:38 jnettlet> Ke, no 16GiB ECC unbuffered.
10:39 jnettlet> registered memory will not work
10:39 jnettlet> any ECC memory DIMMs you want to use must be unbuffered.
10:44 Ke> mut mv-ddr can fix this later, as I understood?
10:44 Ke> or not
10:50 jnettlet> the registered memory, possibly not. I have not heard any updates on this.
10:50 jnettlet> this is only a development board.
10:59 Ke> sure, non-devel boards will have locked bootloaders etc =o)
12:05 Ke> jnettlet: so something like this should work for something that's available now https://geizhals.at/samsung-dimm-16gb-m391a2k43bb1-crc-a1370408.html?hloc=at ?
12:29 jnettlet> Ke, yes that should work. Note currently the maximum the board will run at is DDR4-2133. If you clock your board to run at 2Ghz DDR4-2133 you will need active cooling like topi, added.`_
14:40 Ke> jnettlet: thanks, noted
16:17 topi`_> I still need to test out the SATA interface speed :)
16:17 topi`_> I need a faster SSD ... perhaps from the Samsung EVO series
16:18 topi`_> I wonder if I could test out a Radeon card in the pcie x4 slot... by compiling libdrm and Mesa by hand :)
16:18 topi`_> I already have experience of that because of my exposure to etnaviv
17:12 Ke> does the slot support x16 cards
17:12 Ke> or do you have to use dremel
