Once the basics are clear, RAM must be procured. ECC would be possible, but it is significantly more expensive and harder to find than normal, unbuffered RAM. So “normal” RAM is used.

The maximum expansion with four memory channels and eight slots would be eight DDR4 modules, each with a capacity of 32 GB. That would give a whopping 256 GB. Desirable, but not financially feasible at the time of my search.

Because price/performance also plays a role, we opted for DDR4 modules with 16 GB each*, giving us a total of 128 GB for all eight. This means that the four memory channels are fully utilized and the memory controller is not overloaded.

Power supply

I was able to purchase two HX1200s* at a bargain price from a miner in Bavaria. The second one, which has not been used until now, will now be used in this server (the other HX1200 is in “Tamy-PC”). Full accessories, very good condition.
