Hello everybody
So I attempted to build the HP z600 Workstation with a Motherboard I bought and CPU and memory which I got from my company when they wanted to throw out some hardware. I also bought the original case, powersupply and one of the listed graphics cards.
My problem now is, that I don't get any video output from the graphics card. I already tried a few.
I also had a great discussion with someone on reddit about v1 and v2 of the z600 motherboard. I'm using Intel Xeon X5675 and also got registered ecc ram which should be supported by the v2 board apparently have a v2 motherboard. There is a sticker on the mb sp#591184-001 which indicates it's a version 2 board. Unfortunatly I can't verify that in the bios bc I can't get video output.
I’ve got this memory: MICRON MT36KSF1G72PZ-1G4M1HE 8GB (1X8GB) 1333MHZ PC3-10600R CL9 ECC DUAL RANK REGISTERED DDR3 SDRAM 204-PIN DIMM MEMORY
I checked the specs of the memory and for me and also the guy from reddit agreed it should be fine. Unless of course I have a v1 board where registered memory isn’t supported.
I checked each memory dimm and not one had an error.
Do the specs look good for you or did we miss something? I also tested every ram stick witch one cpu in the first socket. But everything seems fine. So the motherboard maybe is faulty or not functioning properly. I'm planning on getting an Intel X5570 to check if maybe the motherboard is a v1 and not a v2 as sticker says and I belive. But then I would also need unregistered/unbuffered memory.
I just want to be sure that it's not the memory before I would buy a v2 mainboard and then realise I've spent money on another mainboard when it's actually the memory
When I boot up everything seems fine I get no beeping error. The case fans start to spin also the ones on the graphics card.
Any ideas,thoughts or tipps?
