how picky are Xeon chips (LGA2011V1/V2 CPUs) when it comes to RAM?

[mrjayviper]

I haven't had experience before with server setup but when using a desktop CPU, I haven't had any issues pairing any sore of RAM (even RAM not listed in the motherboard's official compatibility list).

Should I have the same expectation when it comes to the CPUs above? I'll be using server grade motherboard (Intel dual CPU board).

I haven't bought the RAM cause of this "dilemma".

Thanks

You should always buy RAM by the recommendations from the manufacturer of the Mobo.
