I realize this has not much to do with CPU choice per se, but I'm still gonna leave this recommendation here for people who like to build PCs to get stuff done

I realize this has not much to do with CPU choice per se, but I'm still gonna leave this recommendation here for people who like to build PCs to get stuff done with :) Since I've been able to afford it and the market has had them available, I've been buying desktop systems with proper ECC support. I've been chasing flimsy but very annoying stability problems (some, of course, due to overclocking during my younger years, when it still had a tangible payoff) enough times on systems I had built that taking this one BIG potential cause out of the equation is worth the few dozens of extra bucks I have to spend on ECC-capable gear many times over. Trying to validate an ECC-less platform's stability is surprisingly hard, because memtest and friends just aren't very reliably detecting more subtle problems. PRIME95, y-cruncher and linpack (in increasing order of effectiveness) are better than specialzied memory testing software in my experience, but they are not perfect, either. Most AMD CPUs (but not their APUs with potent iGPUs - there, you will have to buy the "PRO" variants) these days have full support for ECC UDIMMs. If your mainboard vendor also plays ball - annoyingly, only a minority of them enables ECC support in their firmware, so always check for that before buying! - there's not much that can prevent you from having that stability enhancement and reassuring peace of mind. Quoth DJB (around the very start of this millenium): https://cr.yp.to/hardware/ecc.html https://cr.yp.to/hardware/ecc.html :)

Excellent point. It's a shame and a travesty that data integrity is still mostly locked away inside servers, leaving most other computing devices effectively toys, the early prototype demo thing but then never finished and sold forever at inflated prices. I wish AMD would make ECC a properly advertised feature with clear motherboard support. At least DDR5 has some level of ECC.

  I wish AMD wouldn't gate APU ECC support behind unobtainium "PRO" SKUs they only give out, seemingly, to your typical "business" OEMs and the rare Chinese miniPC company.
  - c0l0 1y ago
    It's not that dire as you make it out to be :) Both the 8700G and the 8700G PRO are readily available in the EU, and the PRO SKU is about 50% more expensive (EUR 120 in absolute numbers): https://geizhals.eu/?cmp=3096260&cmp=3096300&cmp=3200470&active=1 https://geizhals.eu/?cmp=3096260&cmp=3096300&cmp=3200470&act...

> only a minority of them enables ECC support in their firmware, so always check for that before buying! This is the annoying part. That AMD permits ECC is a truly fantastic situation, but if it's supported by the motherboard is often unlikely and worse: it's not advertised even when it's available. I have an ASUS PRIME TRX40 PRO and the tech specs say that it can run ECC and non-ECC but not if ECC will be available to the operating system, merely that the DIMMS will work. It's much more hit and miss in reality than it should be, though this motherboard was a pricey one: one can't use price as a proxy for features.
- c0l0 1y ago
  Usually, if a vendor's spec sheet for a (SOHO/consumer-grade) motherboard mentions ECC-UDIMM explicitly in its memory compatibility section, and (but this is a more recent development afaict) DOES NOT specify something like "operating in non-ECC mode only" at the same time, then you will have proper ECC (and therefore EDAC and RAS) support in Linux, if the kernel version you have can already deal with ECC on your platform in general. I would assume your particular motherboard to operate with proper SECDED+-level ECC if you have capable, compatible DIMM, enable ECC mode in the firmware, and boot an OS kernel that can make sense of it all.
- sunshowers 1y ago
  If you're on Linux, dmesg containing EDAC MC0: Giving out device to module amd64_edac is a pretty reliable indication that ECC is working. See my blog post about it (it was top of HN): https://sunshowers.io/posts/am5-ryzen-7000-ecc-ram/ https://sunshowers.io/posts/am5-ryzen-7000-ecc-ram/

Isn't it mostly an ease of mind thing? I've never seen a ECC error on my home server which has plenty of memory in use and runs longer than my desktop. Maybe it's more common with higher clocked, near the limit, desktop PC's. Also: DDR5 has some false ecc marketing due to the memory standard having an error correction scheme build in. Don't fall for it.
- c0l0 1y ago
  I see a particular ECC error at least weekly on my home desktop system, because one of my DIMMs doesn't like the (out of spec) clock rate that I make it operate at. Looks like this: 94 2025-08-26 01:49:40 +0200 error: Corrected error, no action required., CPU 2, bank Unified Memory Controller (bank=18), mcg mcgstatus=0, mci CECC, memory_channel=1,csrow=0, mcgcap=0x0000011c, status=0x9c2040000000011b, addr=0x36e701dc0, misc=0xd01a000101000000, walltime=0x68aea758, cpuid=0x00a50f00, bank=0x00000012 95 2025-09-01 09:41:50 +0200 error: Corrected error, no action required., CPU 2, bank Unified Memory Controller (bank=18), mcg mcgstatus=0, mci CECC, memory_channel=1,csrow=0, mcgcap=0x0000011c, status=0x9c2040000000011b, addr=0x36e701dc0, misc=0xd01a000101000000, walltime=0x68b80667, cpuid=0x00a50f00, bank=0x00000012 (this is `sudo ras-mc-ctl --errors` output) It's always the same address, and always a Corrected Error (obviously, otherwise my kernel would panic). However, operating my system's memory at this clock and latency boosts x265 encoding performance (just one of the benchmarks I picked when trying to figure out how to handle this particular tradeoff) by about 12%. That is an improvement I am willing to stomach the extra risk of effectively overclocking the memory module beyond its comformt zone for, given that I can fully mitigate it by virtue of properly working ECC.

    Running your RAM so far out of spec that it breaks down regularly, where do you take the confidence that ECC will still work correctly? Also: Could you not have just bought slightly faste RAM, given the premium for ECC?
    - c0l0 1y ago
      "Breaks down" is a strong choice of words for a single, corrected bit error. ECC works as designed, and demonstrates that it does by detecting this re-occurring error. I take the confidence mostly from experience ;) And no, as ECC UDIMM for the speed (3600MHz) I run mine at simply does not exist - it is outside of what JEDEC ratified for the DDR4 spec.
rendaw 1y ago
So I'm trying to learn more about this stuff, but aren't there multiple ECC flavors and the AMD consumer CPUs only support one of them (not the one you'd have on servers?) Does anyone maintain a list with de-facto support of amd chips and mainboards? That partlist site only shows official support IIRC, so it won't give you any results.

  Seconding this. I'm looking for a fanless industrial mini PC with out of band ECC and I'm having a hell of a time.
  - adrian_b 1y ago
    Had you been looking for "in-band ECC", the cheap ODROID H4 PLUS ($150) or the cheaper ODROID H4 ($110) would have been fine, or for something more expensive some of the variants of Asus NUC 13 Rugged support in-band ECC. For out-of-band ECC, e.g. with standard ECC SODIMMs, all the embedded SBCs that I have seen used only CPUs that are very obsolete nowadays, i.e. ancient versions of Intel Xeon or old AMD industrial Ryzen CPUs (AMD's series of industrial Ryzen CPUs are typically at least one or two generations behind their laptop/desktop CPUs). Moreover all such industrial SBCs with ECC SODIMMs were rather large, i.e. either in the 3.5" form factor or in the NanoITX form factor (120 mm x 120 mm), and it might have been necessary to replace their original coolers with bigger heatsinks for fanless operation. In-band ECC causes a significant decrease of the performance, but for most applications of such mini-PCs the performance is completely acceptable.

  The difference between the "unbuffered" ECC DIMMs (ECC UDIMMs), which you must use in desktop motherboards (and in some of those advertised as "workstation" MBs) and the "registered" ECC DIMMs (ECC RDIMMs), which you must use in server motherboards (and in some of the "workstation" MBs), has existed for decades. However in the past there have existed very few CPU models and MBs that supported either kind of DIMMs, while today this has become completely impossible, as the mechanical and electrical differences between them have increased. In any case, today, like also 20 years ago, when searching for ECC DIMMs you must always search only the correct type, e.g. unbuffered ECC DIMMs for desktop CPUs. In general, registered ECC DIMMs are easier to find, because wherever "server memory" is advertised, that is what is meant. For desktop ECC memory, you must be careful to see both "ECC" and "unbuffered" mentioned in the module description.
jml7c5 1y ago
The big problem with ECC for me is that the sticks are so much more expensive. You'd expect ECC UDIMMs to have a price premium of just over 12.5% (because there are 9 chips instead of 8), but it's usually at least 100%. I don't mind paying reasonable premium for ECC, but paying double is too hard to swallow.
- sippeangelo 1y ago
  Yeah, with that kind of markup you might as well just buy new ones IF they break, or just spend the extra budget on better quality parts. Just having to pick a very specific motherboard that probably is very much not optimal for your build will blow the costs up even more, and for what gain? I've been building my own gaming and productivity rigs for 20 years and I don't think memory has ever been a problem. Maybe survivorship bias, but surely even budget parts aren't THIS bad.

        Let's say you corrupted one bit in a blender asset 200 revisions ago and it was unnoticeable and still upgraded through five blender upgrades, but now on the sixth upgrade it fails with a corruption error and doesn't upgrade. Without knowing how to fix that error you've lost 200 revisions of work. You can go back and find which revision had the problem, go before that, and upgrade it to the latest blender, but all your 200 revisions were made on other versions that you can't backport.

Now where can I get 64GB ECC UDIMM DDR5 modules so that my X870E board can have 256GB RAM? The largest I found were just 48GB ECC UDIMMs or 64GB non-ECC UDIMMs.
- c0l0 1y ago
  I don't think 64GB ECC UDIMM is commercially available yet. I use Geizhals to check for EU availability: https://geizhals.eu/?cat=ramddr3&xf=7500_DDR5~7501_DIMM~7761_UDIMM%20ECC&promode=true&hloc=at&hloc=de&hloc=eu&hloc=pl&hloc=uk https://geizhals.eu/?cat=ramddr3&xf=7500_DDR5~7501_DIMM~7761... In my experience, it's generally unwise to push the platform you're on to the outermost of its spec'd limits. At work, we bought several 5950X-based Zen3 workstations with 128GB of 3200MT/s ECC UDIMM, and two of these boxes will only ever POST when you manually downclock memory to 3000MT/s. Past a certain point, it's silicon lottery deciding if you can make reality live up to the datasheets' promises.
  - storus 1y ago
    I am fine with downclocking the RAM; my X870E board (ProArt) should be fine running ECC, I only use 9800X3D to have a single CCD (maybe upgraded later to EPYC 4585PX) and together have RTX 6000 Pro and 2x NVLinked A6000 in PCIe slots, with two M.2 SSDs. Power supply follows the latest specs as well. This build was meant to be a light-weight Threadripper replacement and ECC is a must for my use cases (it's a build for my summer house so that I can do serious work while there).
