6 # "6" is Multi-bit ECC
- jeffbee 4y agoASRock has universally working implementations. I should not have said "the only way" when I meant "the only reliable way that does not require you to carefully parse thousands of forum comments to figure out which Asus or Gigabyte motherboard does or does not support ECC".
- watersb 4y agoI am in the middle of an Intel Xeon build and I happen to agree. Searching for a simple answer to question: "does this CPU + chipset + this particular motherboard actually support ECC DRAM" is infuriating. Thousands of words on the RGB lighting and the overclocking tweaks, silence on ECC support. It's insane. Went through four rounds of ECC DRAM (that was on the manufacturer's supported config list) on a Gigabyte board, never got it to POST. I finally gave up on that one. Bought an Asus X99 WS setup, with Xeon and RAM, from a vendor on eBay. I can fix simple things, but debugging a configuration in this gamer-saturated market is beyond my current skill level. Once I have at least something working end-to-end, I can bootstrap up to a working machine. But the dead stare of failed POST was a tough one.
