Ryzen Mobo's That Support ECC?

PCPartPicker is kind of shit for finding this out, so I’ll ask ya’ll because support seems to be spotty. What mobo’s support ECC?

For those unaware I recently got a handful of servers to sell, one being a Dell C4130 with DDR4 in it (32GB dimms). I’m keeping 2 dimms to put in my system because I’m used to having 64GB of ram now thanks to my mac pro, but I don’t know what boards I can use. I was going to get an Asus X570-P for its IOMMU groups being solid in reports, but I’m not sure that it will actually work.

Theres this board: https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/Pro-WS-X570-ACE/

but if I do that, IMO, I might as well get a TR4 socket board and a 1920X and upgrade later, even though I’m getting a 3900X.

So, any help is appreciated.

X470D4U does :wink:

Most boards support it, you just need the right cpu.

The Asus board you’re looking at does support ECC btw.

Really? Oh good, I was going to be really sad if I couldn’t use that one actually XD

Careful with the upgrade plans. AM4 socket is compatible with all current Ryzens. But Threadripper 3xxx uses a new socket. You won’t be able to use the same board for a 1920 and a 3970.

Asus Prime X370 Pro
Asus Prime A320M-K
ASRock Fatal1ty AB350 Gaming-ITX/ac

These are currently running ECC memory in systems that I own.
Not sure if I ever tested my X470 Taichi ultimate but I bet it runs ECC just fine as well.

Pretty much any board that has a cpu that supports it (any none APU, unless the APU is a pro)

Are these boards actually checking memory errors?

Yes. All of mine are reporting multibit ECC in per EDAC, dmidecode and lshw.

That won’t work.
1920X is TR4, Threadripper 3xxx is sTRX4. Both sockets are (physically and electrically) incompatible.

Since it is a Workstation board I would assume it also does proper ECC support with error reporting.

“Support” varies vastly though. Some “support” it in the way that you can plug it in and it will POST. But actual support would also include error reporting, which a lot of boards don’t do and/or don’t officially support, meaning it could be removed anytime (unlikely, but still).

Also careful which kind of ECC you buy, AFAIK Ryzen only supports unregistered.

Every board I have used thus far has correctly supported it fully… but im also not buying cheapo boards.

12

I wouldn’t go to 3X I’d get a 2990WX if anything

300 bucks for a board seems stupid to me. 140-180 is actually reasonable.

Has nothing to do with price. This one is under 60,- Euro in Germany.

First gen TR is stupid cheap these days. 200,- Euro for the 12 core for example. Just … what? o0
The boards are still pricey of course but given how complex those are… that won’t change. Ever.

And like you said, you’d have a good selection of upgrades to choose from.

Aren’t the A series chipsets for like… office computers?

A series is also meant for the Ryzen PROs though, and those are advertised with ECC support.
Guess it depends what you need from the motherboard other then ECC.
