Memory recomendations for Supermicro X11SPH-nCTF

Hello,

Looking for memory recommendations for my Supermicro X11SPH-nCTF. specifically number of dimms and speed for ecc rdimm. any specific modules would be welcomed advice. This is just a homelab box. I currently run proxmox and vm’s on an asus x570 board and truenas on an old dual core celeron. I am looking to replace those two boxes with this supermicro board.

  1. 6 dimms vs 8 dimms? It is my understanding that if I populate this board with 8 dimms that it will run in 4 channel mode with 2 dimmms per channel. So I believe I want 6 dimms to populate the six blue memory slots.

  2. Currently running xeon bronze 3204, considering xeon gold 5115. I’m leaning towards ddr4-2400.I’m not convinced faster ecc ddr4 would be a huge benefit. Any speed recommendations?
