Help/Suggestion on a new Server Build

No. That is Registered memory (RDIMM) and your system can only use un-buffered (UDIMM) memory.

Ha!! I knew I was missing something :)

Looks like this one that you suggested is a good price.

Should I be worried since this is not in their QVL? I assume it is still identical spec otherwise.

If it is the right spec, it should not matter what company makes the module. They can't test every brand / vendor. I have had really good luck with the memory I have purchased and if it doesn't work, eBay has a very strong return policy. The one time I got memory that didn't work, eBay made the vendor give all my money back and the vendor had to pay the return shipping too.

I was able to get everything moved over from my old AMD freenas to the new build with x11ssm-f MB and a Xeon 1220 V5. Everything went smoothly and I really like the Fractal Design R5 case @Chris Moore suggested. Good suggestion on the RAM as well and everything works fine. I am now going to get the LSA SAS card as I have more room for expansion now :) Thanks again for the help.
