- snvzz 1y agoStandard Ryzen chips also support ECC (minus the monolithic G models). I run 2x48GB ECC with my 9800x3d.
- fmajid 1y agoYes, but it's not tested or certified.
- snvzz 1y agoIt's certainly less untrustworthy than running non-ECC anything.
- fmajid 1y agoPerhaps, but computer makers talk about "(engineering) workstations", they mean powerful machines that are meant to run professional apps like CATIA, and are certified by the makers of said software. If you're Airbus, you are not going to take chances running mission-critical design software on anything less. AMD's product for that market niche is Threadripper or EPYC, and Intel's is Xeon-W.
