If it helps, the ASRock B550M Pro4 supports ECC. At least when paired with a Ryzen 5600X and 4x 16GB (Kingston KSM26ED8/16HD @3200MHz) memory modules.
It's what I've been using for 15+ months as my main development desktop.
This is how they show up in the system (Linux) from dmidecode:

- tremon 3y agoThe B550 chipset is for AM4/DDR4 boards. For newer AM5/DDR5 motherboards, the ECC support is a lot less clear. As in: several motherboard vendors have claimed ECC support in the past, but no longer do, without publicly stating a reason. Also, some boards do list ECC memory modules in their QVL, but do not claim ECC support; whether this means that the board supports ECC or only that the memory module functions without ECC, nobody knows.
- justinclift 3y ago> The B550 chipset is for AM4/DDR4 boards. Yeah. The comment I'm replying to sounded like they're wanting to still use the AM4 platform. Maybe I misread it, or they've adjusted the post for clarity in the meantime. :)
