Any vllendor other than Asus supporting ECC in plain AM3+ boards?

[uOpt]

Cheap Asus boards with consumer CPUs used to be a good source of mine for ECC-enabled small computer. Intel ditched the concept, AMD doesn't support it with APUs but the main AMD CPU still do.

Problem is - I'm no longer touching anything Asus.

Is there anybody else that has a regular board (not a server-classified board) with ECC support? Also, needs to be working, MSI for example had it in the BIOS but it didn't work.

There was some discussion of Gigabyte AMD desktop mobos possibly supporting ECC but I don't know what the verdict was. Some said when they installed ECC memory it showed ECC settings in the BIOS while others said it'll work with ECC memory but doesn't actually utilize ECC.

Officially, Supermicro H8SML series support ECC with either AM3+ socket Opteron 3000 series up to 8-core which are hard to find or common FX-6300 6-core desktop CPU (due to mobo limitation with supporting 95W TDP max).

Yeah you can always stuff in ECC memory, but whether it works is a different matter

I knew about those supermicro boards but just as the single-processor Intel "workstation" board with the ECC-enabled chipsets the slot setup is just not usable. I want many slots just like any plain stupid desktop board has.

I suppose I could just buy used Asus board from here. Then I wouldn't have to bother with RMA and somebody else tested for me.
