Ryzen will work with ECC ram but it won't actively correct ECC errors (at least on Linux) the interrupt code flags that as differed.
Currently there aren't Ryzen server chips out, just desktop/enthusiast models.
- simcop2387 9y agoAnd word on why this is, or a source for it? I'm curious if this is just something that can be fixed with an upgraded kernel.
- deaddodo 9y agoYes, it does. It'll correct 1-bit errors and report 2-bit errors. It just doesn't fault on 2-bit errors, as is expected.
- theevilsharpie 9y agoRyzen will send a machine check exception to the OS in the event of a double-bit error. It's up to the OS on how to handle it. This also isn't a Ryzen-specific behavior. All x86 ECC-capable machines work this way.
