Zbook 15 G3 Xeon E3-1505m v5 and non-ECC memory

Recommended Posts

Hello, this is my first post here, glad to be a part of community.

Currently I'm looking at Zbook 15 G3 with Xeon E3-1505m v5 for cheap and the only thing that makes me wonder is:

Will it work with non-ECC DDR4 memory sticks? I'm not talking about mixing ECC and non-ECC, I have spare 2x16G Hynix sticks and planning to use it in that scenario.

I am aware that HP docs says something like "just use ECC", but I'm curious if anyone had tried this.

Sorry that I can't offer confirmation, but I think there is quite a good chance that this will work.  I'm not so familiar with the ins and outs of the HP ZBook line, but I know that Dell Precision 7000-series works with both ECC and non-ECC memory if a Xeon CPU is installed.  This is true for all generations where Xeon has been offered (6th gen - 11th gen).  Intel supports it, so it seems like it would work with HP systems unless they went out of their way to block it.
