Wait that. It does, and that's the point. Although the CPU and motherboard do of course also have to support it, but with AMD it is possible. I do it on a 9800x3d.
One bit errors are always both detected and corrected. Multibit errors are mostly at least detected.
- woodrowbarlow 3mo agoas i understand it: that's in-band ECC and if you CPU/mobo support it, you can enable IBECC even on non-ECC RAM. IBECC has overhead, though. ECC RAM has on-die error correction, with corrections taking place before the motherboard ever sees it (and without the performance overhead of IBECC).
