That is largely a feature of OS software, not the motherboard. Linux on AMD motherboards which support ECC has reporting. There is no reason why it wouldn't. If the ECC is there and active, Linux can get the information (EDAC).
On Intel though, they flat out fuse ECC off on consumer CPUs for market segmentation reasons. If you want a consumer motherboard with ECC, you go AMD.
