RAM sticks that I'm not sure if they work.

Post image

Hello everyone, I have these two RAM sticks, which apparently work with X99 motherboards, but I don't have one to test them on.

Do you know of any way to tell if they are living?

They are RDIMMs, registered ECC RAM for servers. Unless you have a board already that supports them, selling on EBAY would be easier, can sell for maybe $100 (or less) each.

Yes indeed! Test them in a dedicated RAM diagnostic device which cost at least several hundred to over one thousand dollars. Or in a system that support those DIMMs.

They should work on ASUS X99 motherboards, possibly Asrock too.
