LGA 2011 Workstations and Surplus ECC DDR3 (Registered) compatibility?

[cbn]

Has anyone experienced compatibility issues with their 1P or 2P LGA 2011 Workstation using typical surplus Server DDR3 ECC (Registered) from ebay.

One part I am thinking about in particular is HP 500203-061.

Just to clarify, LGA 2011 Workstations (even the 1P versions) are compatible with Registered ECC......what I am looking for is specific compatibility issues (ie, certain brands/models of Registered ECC not working with certain LGA 2011 Workstations).

I had some issues with the server in my sig. I got stuff that was the same type (speed, etc) as the types listed by Supermicro as compatibility tested, but it didn't work. I ended up with some Crucial stuff. Supermicro didn't list it, but Crucial claimed it was compatible, and it worked.
