"AMD only" ram. Will it work ?

[jalebi2000]

Hi, I was noticing that the ddr3 prices have spiked. I have a Xeon e3 1230v1 I just bought for like $60, and now need some ram. Some listings are showing cheaper memory, but it says that it's only AM3 and AM3+ compatible.

So does it work with sandy bridge xeon? Specs are 3.8ghz 4C/8T

I can't see why it wouldn't. it's the same ddr3, probably just tested to work better with amd.

This memory is not compatible with the Xeon E3-1230 CPU due to unsupported memory chip architecture used on the modules.

Tag says AMD ONLY RAM, but I don't see why it should be like that.
The problem is, it's unbranded, there's no info on it, you won't find more than that anywhere, because there's no model number or name.
I can't recommend it.

These DDR3 modules would work, but only at official JEDEC DDR3 settings.
That means 7-7-7-20-27 at 1066 MHz (533 actual), there will be no XMP, may not have more than dual channel support, and overclocking will be severely limited.
