Compatibility rules

The criteria for compatibility are essentially:

  • must be DDR4
  • must be ECC
  • must be registered (RDIMM)
  • must NOT be LRDIMM

The supported module sizes are 8GiB, 16GiB, 32GiB, 64GiB and 128GiB. 4GiB is expected to work (and is reported working by at least 1 user) but is not officially supported by Raptor.

The supported memory speeds are 1600, 1866, 2133, 2400, and 2666 MHz. Higher speeds are expected to work (and are reported working by at least 1 user; they will automatically downclock to a supported speed) but are not officially supported by Raptor.

RAM will be running at a potentially slower frequency (2666, 2400, or 2133 MHz) based on if there is 1, 2 or 4 DIMMs per channel.

Platform Slots Max. Capacity
Talos II Up to two sockets, each of 4 channels of 2 slots each 2TiB
Blackbird Two channels, one slot each 256GiB
