I have a desktop where CPU, OS and motherboard all support it. But ECC memory wa hard to find. Memory with useless LEDs, though, is easily available.

- spockz 2y agoThat is because it doesn’t make sense producing a product that cannot be used at all. It just doesn’t work in consumer boards due to lack of support for it in consumer CPUs. Again due to artificial customer segmentation.
- c0balt 2y agoMost ryzen CPUs have supported some ECC RAM for multiple years by now. The HED platforms, like Thread Ripper, did too. It just hasn't really been advertised as much because most consumers don't appear to be willing to pay the higher cost.
