My big complaint is actually digging through the mess of MB/RAM/BIOS documentation to actually verify that I have the right combination of processor/motherboard/memory for ECC AND TEST IT'S WORKING.
AMD seems to support ECC on some consumer-level chipsets, but it's a nightmare to sort it all out and verify that all the bits are actually functioning properly.
- indolering 4y agoWere you able to find a consumer motherboard that supports fault injection (or whatever it's called)? I was able to verify that the motherboard reported ECC was working and performed a 24/hour burn in, but I have been unable to perform a functional test showing that ECC had corrected an error.
- bsder 4y agoSadly, no. Verifying that ECC is actually functioning is ridiculously hard on consumer grade motherboards.
