Do we know anything about ECC support on Ryzen? I'm ready to buy, but I need ful ECC support. Any motherboards out yet with official support for ECC?

If you actually want something serious like that, get away from that gayming company anyway, their shit is just pre-overclocked shit that only the memesters of Sup Forums take seriously.
The "benchmarks" they keep shilling with are against a cherry picked 6900K that nobody uses here, a 3.2Ghz chip when most people run 4.6+Ghz chips by now.
They are literally worthless for anything other than fooling children into wasting their mommy's money.
Henry Gonzalez
According to leaks the CPUs themselves have no problem supporting ECC memory, unsure about motherboards but there should be some that do on release.
>Shilling THIS hard
The 6900K doesn't support ECC memory you daft cunt. Not to mention if he's using ECC memory he probably has a highly threaded workload, which is exactly what ryzen is built for.

I know it supposedly supports ECC, but it's all about the motherboard manufacturers. I was hoping there was some actual information out by now.

> the 6900k, the $1000 chip I cherry picked, is 10% better than $300 Intel products on the games I cherry picked

Can you stop pretending that even you believe that?
Adrian Bailey
what are you even trying to say?
Ryder Taylor
Ryzen supports ECC memory.

are you having a stroke?

But will it be enabled when it arrives? Can I expect ECC support in the products I buy?
Landon Bennett
ECC functionality has to be supported by the memory controller, which is in the CPU these days, so only the CPU matters. (however not all chipsets support server CPUs, at least not on Intel platforms)
Buffered memory has different PCB traces and needs the motherboard itself to support it, which can almost always be found on server mobos, since you don't really need buffering until you get into the hundreds of GB of RAM, and the sticks are on separate boards.
Luke Collins
There's nothing to "enable", if your CPU supports ECC, and you stick ECC modules into the mobo, and it manages to boot, then there's your support.
Robert Baker
MUH GAMES XD

>most people overclock, to 4.6ghz+ even
I do not think you know what the word most means.
Benjamin Cruz
But it is pretty amazing how much performance they're selling for the cost. If it was a $50 difference, then yes it'd be silly to be so happy, but the cost to performance is very nice compared to what Intel has been pulling for years.
You can greentext shit all you want, but you'd have to be retarded to not want this product line happening, even as an intel fan. Competition may finally make intel be competitive with prices, or maybe even with actually making good products again...
Tyler Brooks
You are aware that the motherboard manufacturers have to:
a) Solder extra connections from the dimm slots to the cpu for ecc to work
b) ECC must be explicitly supported in the BIOS
Jackson Smith
>Being this clueless
Juan Martinez
You can stick ECC-modules in a non-ECC-mobo just fine.
Right now the mobo-OEMs just confirmed that you can use ECC-ram (duh), but only Gigabyte confirmed that they WON'T offer ECC.
EDIT:
NO ECC!

Leave it to AMD to fuck up the RyZen-release.
Jewtel, here I come.
PS: At least on Leenox you can force-enable ECC even on boards which otherwise don't offer ECC.

Are you sure? Seems like you're talking about FB-DIMM.
Nicholas Long
Why do you need ecc memory op?
Owen Thomas
Uncorrected bitflips can lead to bad things, mkay.
William Jackson
are you gonna run a data center?
explain what you need your pc with ecc ram to do
Jacob Peterson
For what it's worth, AMD is also launching a competitor to Xeon called Naples - might be worth waiting for that, if your workload is threaded enough.
Parker Collins
There are all sorts of reasons for wanting ECC, but most boil down to wanting a stable system that isn't affected by flipped bits.
Daniel Morales
ECC is completely useless unless you need uptime measured on the scale of months and years. Normal memory also already does basic error correction without killing performance.
Chase Peterson
>Normal memory also already does basic error correction
No, it doesn't.
Which is the whole point of ECC.
Anthony Barnes
lol if you don't care about uptime, is your OS that shit that it can't manage to stay functioning
Charles Moore
>No, it doesn't.
learn how dram works before you shitpost. if basic error correction wasn't done then you would be left with tons of mangled data every few milliseconds when memory gets refreshed. this is also why you will get degraded perf in some cases with overclocked memory.
>Which is the whole point of ECC.
no, the entire point of ECC is to prevent the few freak errors you can get from cosmic rays hitting earth and similar memes. it's absolutely useless for a consumer, especially gaymers who care more about performance over uptime.

My dual xeon workstation was the fucking shit with 96GB of ECC RAM. Granted, it was severely bottlenecked by the processors, but the thing had absolutely 0 problems. Moving back into "enthusiast" [read: consumer] hardware, it's been something I took for granted.
Michael Lee
What are you on about, there's barely any specs out on it yet, only the top of the range.

pretty much every mobo supports ECC-ram, doesn't mean it's also being used in ECC-mode.
Nolan Davis
This is wrong. AMD will win .They have Jim Keller. The architecture is better. Intel got lazy. Look at the facts. This information can be found within seconds. Everyone knows this. I was captain of the US Navy seals. I've seen it. You little weeaboos don't know anything. Get out of you're basement and go outside so beautiful. AMD has rizen. The sequel to Myst. AMD gonna pop a cap up Intel's ass. Intel will be #2. Poo in the loo. For sure. It's common knowledge. Everything is true.

they won't

Asrock response "Yes it does support ECC UDIMM (un-buffered) memory but operate in non-ECC mode"
So that is confirmed no real ECC support in any boards out there.
Fuck you AMD. Only catering to the gaming crowd will be your downfall.
