Who want overclocking the ECC RAM? You choose ECC because of the stability over performance. Why do you want to reduce the stability?

- enragedcacti 4y agoBecause given the same chips you can push ECC RAM to speeds beyond what non-ECC RAM can do before corrupting. You can push beyond what the chips are capable of and rely on the error correction to keep your system stable.
- sliken 4y agoECC in common desktops/workstation/servers will correct all single bit errors and detect all 2 bit errors. So sure you can run dimms every so slightly faster and fix the occasional single bit flip, but even a single double bit flip and an process or your kernel crashes. Seems much saner to go for a safe, robust, and reliable system at standard clocks in ECC instead of trying to get slightly more performance which increases the chances or errors, corruptions, crashes, and shorter service life.
