- jeffbee 6y agoThe AMD parts all have the ECC feature but the platform support outside of EPYC may as well not exist. Most motherboards for the Ryzen segment don’t do it properly or don’t do it at all, some support it but aren’t capable of reporting events to the operating system which is dumb. Ryzen laptops don’t have it either. Closest you can come to a nuc with ecc is I think a mini server equipped with one of the four-core i3 parts that have ecc.
- touisteur 6y agoAh thanks for the real-world check on AMD Ryzen and ECC. Sad state of affairs really, when so many things are integrated in the SOC, why skimp on this... As for NUCs, I thought there were some Atom chips with ECC but not in NUC form factor ? Something shiny from Logic Supply might do then...
- erkkie 6y agoProbably not what you meant but https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/190108/intel-nuc-9-pro-kit-nuc9vxqnx.html https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/190108/... has support for Xeon (and ECC). Now how to actually practically source 32GB ECC enabled SO-DIMM sticks ..
- touisteur 6y agoOh thanks! TIL. Then I just saw the price tag, ouch.
