I don't think ECC ram works in this Intel-x58 based motherboard with an Intel i7-9xx CPU. At least I've never heard of anyone trying to use that. If I had to guess, I would say that is your problem.
I will try to get a chance to check my BIOS settings, although I do remember that all ram settings are Auto and stock-clocks. No, my 6x2gb DIMMs do not use XMP.
Do you have PDF Service Manual. My Intel x58-chipset with i7-930 runs 1333 ram fine (always has). You must install in perfectly matched DIMMs in sets of 3 (since it's Tri-Channel).
I have the PDF and hard copy manual and read it's instructions before I tried to install 6 perfectly matched 4GB DIMM DDR3 1333MHz Registered ECC 2-Rank x4 ram. When that didn't work I just tried 3 of the 4-gig and still the ram beep warning. It seems that because the system had 1066mhz ram before it wants to see 1066 and not the 1333. Just wondering what setting I might make in the bios which is up to date at version A11, Windows 64-bit Ultimate. Is there something that needs to be changed in the bios before it will see the 1333 ram, such as taking it off auto- like I said it sees the 1333Mhz as overclocking for some reason.
Tesla, could you post your bios settings for 1333mhz ram- specifically ratio and timing settings. I've read elsewhere that taking the bios XMP setting off auto before installing the new ram is a correct step. So should the ratio be set to 24 for gig followed by a specific set of timing numbers such as 10-10-10-27?
Just wondering what your settings are for 1333 ram.

Thanks, I believe this is right, did not know ECC was a problem.
