Overview

CORSAIR has been manufacturing memory as far back as the 90s so you can say we know a thing or two about memory. CORSAIR WS DDR5 RDIMMs are specially made for those who want a performance boost from systems running memory hungry applications such as 3D imaging, video applications, and CAD simulations running on professional-grade workstations used by engineers, architects, designers, and video editors.

What Exactly Is ECC RDIMM Memory?

ECC stands for Error-Correcting Code, a method designed to detect and correct errors in data that are commonly found during computer operations, particularly in memory. ECC memory is a class of memory that utilizes this technology, providing an extra layer of protection against potential data corruption. 

Meanwhile, RDIMM stands for Registered Dual In-Line Memory Module. Unlike its simpler, Unbuffered DIMM (UDIMM) cousin, RDIMM employs a register between the system's memory controller and the RAM modules. This register effectively lessens the electrical load on the memory controller and allows for greater system reliability, especially when handling large memory capacities and high speeds.

In short, an ECC RDIMM is a memory module that provides the capacity and speed needed in demanding applications and is equipped with mechanisms to ensure the accuracy of the data it processes and stores.

Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO Compatible

Intel XMP stands for Extreme Memory Profile, a technology that makes it easier for users to overclock and optimize the performance of their DRAM, often with a single click. XMP is primarily associated with Intel processors and motherboards, although it is also supported by some AMD platforms.

Aiming for an easier, more consistent user experience, AMD launched its own memory clocking solution, EXPO, short for Extended Profiles for Overclocking. AMD EXPO is specially designed for the new AM5 platform and for its latest Threadripper series. It is AMD's version of Intel XMP and offers automatic overclocking with a single click, among other features. AMD EXPO is only available on the DDR5 standard.

Tested for Reliability and Performance

At CORSAIR, we test our memory to ensure reliability so these ECC modules are screened and selected carefully to deliver the best performance and they are Full ECC Support chips.

Full ECC support means errors are corrected on the fly with guaranteed accuracy and reliability.

Thermal Advantage

A PGS label offers several cooling advantages. Since the labels are thin, they are great for narrow spaces between the DIMM slots. These labels provide room for airflow and offer thermal conductivity allowing the modules to stay cooler.

Limited Lifetime Warranty

With a limited lifetime warranty you can rest assure that any failure is covered with 24/7 technical support assistance.

Conclusion

ECC RDIMM memory may not be the flashiest component in the tech world, but its balance of performance and protection make it an invaluable asset in a variety of systems and use cases, from workstations to corporate servers. 

CORSAIR WS DDR5 RDIMM delivers high DDR5 performance with the accuracy and reliability of ECC. Enabled with many features integrated to out perform within its class, these modules have full support for both Intel and AMD platforms.
