[Wanted] RAM for HP Microserver Gen 8 - Thanks #BlackInept

[ThatGuy_ZA]

Massive thanks to the giant asshat formerly known as BlackAdept. He shipped me a server with the wrong RAM. The server seems to boot fine but fails POST on memory. Ideally I'd like to borrow the RAM for an evening to make sure everything POST's and works and them I'm happy to buy it if everything works.

Item Wanted: 2/4/8GB DDR3 ECC RAM that's compatible with an HP Microserver Gen 8 with the Celeron CPU
Packaging Essential: No
Desired Age: The newer the better
Location: Cape Town
Willing to accept a shipped item: NO
Ballpark/Budget Amount: R300? PM me

I have a few ECC sticks lying around, but I'm unsure if they will work bud.

Let me check for you over the next day or so and I'll get back to you. You can have 'em for free if they work but you'd most likely have to cover shipping from JHB to CT.

Let me know?

Sorry saw you were in CPT

You're a champion! Any chance you could PM me some pics of them before we ship them?

Drop me a PM with your number, I'll see if I can sort through them tonight and send you photos of the serial/model numbers.

Done, thank you kind sir.

I understand it needs to be DDR3 ECC unbuffered.

Yeah, 1333 or 1600 mhz.

If you need I have 8gb ECC dimms that I might want to swop for normal DDR3 dimms once you've tested and verified the server works

Will drop you a PM, thanks.

I seem to be sorted so I'm closing this for now.

Hi All,

Just realised that the RAM I'm getting is all registered and not unbuffered which means it won't work

Please shout if anyone has some unbuffered memory.

Sorted, thanks @ScorpioMan86.
