- dijit 2y agoSome non-xeon chips support ECC now too, in the 12th generation and onwards. The issue in the consumer space is the motherboard support more than anything- even if your cpu supports ECC; your motherboard rarely if ever advertises support. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-enables-ecc-on-12th-gen-core-cpus https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-enables-ecc-on-12th-...
- JonChesterfield 2y agoSupermicro + elderly intel i3 with ecc working running a fileserver here but neither of those vendors look like good bets for the near future. Asrock + cheap epyc seems to be the most plausible replacement when it dies.
- bjoli 2y agoI tried that AMD thing, and getting things to work properly is hard. Hardly any motherboards advertise ecc support, and getting it to work is finicky and brittle. I stopped using it on my main computer after it silently stopped working and started giving me other memory issue after an OS update.
- karlgkk 2y agoSkill issue. You had to do some actual research on the boards. I grabbed a few manuals and ended up with an asrock.
- bjoli 2y agoThis was on ASRock X570M Pro4, with a memory from the qvl. I validated that it worked, and then one day it stopped working after a system update. I gave up on ecc on AMD consumer chipsets. From what I gather it is still shaky.
- wil421 2y agoI have i3-8100 from years ago that supports it and runs my NAS just fine. Supermicro boards support the chip too.
