Ryzen ECC Support confirmed???

I have heard that motherboards leaks had ECC toggle in thier bios. Heres to hoping. Since my primary usage is production 1st gaming 2nd I direcrly benefit from ECC.
 
Gigabyte has ECC support listed on all their AM4 specs

Unfortunatly I see:
  • Dual Channel Non-ECC Unbuffered DDR4, 4 DIMMs
And
  1. Support for ECC Un-buffered DIMM 1Rx8/2Rx8 memory modules (operate in non-ECC mode)
 
When looking at mobo specs, it seems that ECC is not supported anywhere. That sucks.

ASUS:
4 x DIMM, Max. 64GB, DDR4 2666/2400/2133 MHz Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory

Gigabyte:
Support for ECC Un-buffered DIMM 1Rx8/2Rx8 memory modules (operate in non-ECC mode)

MSI:
No mentioning of ECC anywhere.

ASrock:
AM4 mobo specs have disappeared from their homepage.
 
My guess is AMD will learn to make money and only offer ECC support on ther server/workstation chipsets. This allows them to milk more cash out of Zen based Opterons.
 
Looks like no ECC support at this time.

Limitation is artificial, btw, controller is certainly ECC supportive from it's outlook on die shot.

Hopefully there will be a 8 core or less socket with ECC. The Server 8 to 32 core socket with 6 channels of ram is and a ~200W TDP is not really what I am looking for to replace my linux server / pvr. AM4 Zen would be perfect if it had ECC support.

ECC Support Confirmed!!

Validated means run it through server/workstation grade testing. For the first Ryzen processors, focused on the prosumer / gaming market, this feature is enabled and working but not validated by AMD. You should not have issues creating a whitebox homelab or NAS with ECC memory enabled.

Well that makes me feel a little better. I will wait until there is at least an official announcement about this. It would be quite frustrating to purchase only to find out later that the ECC was being ignored by the CPU / motherboard.
 
Always good to be sure, but it's literally coming from AMD in an AMA. Since it's not validated, they may not have a press release. We need Kyle and Dan to review...
 
That's a pleasant surprise. I wish they had been more open about that being possible; could be a semi-supported feature like overclocking. Supported-at-your-own-risk;)

If ECC does pass validation and this support is officially confirmed, I will most likely purchase at least a 1700 based system soon after the official announcement. With maybe a second 1800X to come depending on the performance. The 1700 would be for my linux based server / pvr with the 1800X for my windows workstation.

Done. He says x370 Prime works, so... boom :) Give it 2-3 months for first-wave bios updates to come out and I'm getting a 1700X to replace my workstation.
 
I just got my 1700x in the case. I have to leave my house but as soon as I can power it on ill confirm my board has a toggle. I got the Asus B350 atx sized board as a holdover until asus ROG Matx comes out if it does.
 
If you guys get any definitive info about motherboards supporting ECC, please share! I'd love to build a Ryzen NAS/Plex/Emby Machine with ZFS.
 
I will be updating this thread as information becomes available. Gigabyte published which ECC ram it's tested, so here's hoping its accurate!

I second that - my FX8350 w/32GB RAM is struggling in ESXi 6.0 because it is overprovisioned 100%.

50% more IPC, 100% more threads, 100% more cores, and 100% more RAM support (quite apart from the faster DDR4) would make my FreeNAS ZFS/Emby/NextPVR VMs very happy.
 
Waiting for the Gigabyte AX370 K7 to be released, then I will test the ECC UDIMMs I just picked up. Samsung 2400 CL17, B-Die: M391A1K43BB1-CRC

If I can get it to register and function as ECC Ram, I will let everyone know! Then I will try to tighten the timings, increase the voltage and overclock...
 
So...
Gigabyte K7 yes
Gigabyte K5 maybe ?
Asus B350 Prime maybe?
Asus X370 ? (website and datasheet differ, as does different language regions)

Did you see any ECC support on your board? Or are you still waiting for it?

Sorry for the delay. I do not see any direct ECC toggles in the bios of my Crosshair VI but I do see a crap ton of RAM settiings that pertain to ECC control as you would see on a server. THings like scrub rates etc.... however, I think emailing Asus might be the way to go.

Well, ECC will be a nice addition for my build once i can afford 32 GB sticks.

FYI the only 32GB sticks available on the market are quad-ranked Registered ECC modules that Ryzen does not support. You will need to buy unbuffered/not-registered ram, and to the best of my research those are limited to dual ranked 16GB modules.

Yup, from what I've read in various forums et al, people have tested the crucial and kingston unbuffered modules in asus and asrock boards with positive results. They are the main two brands you can find reasonable prices on 16GB 2400 'workstation' modules, though only 'reasonable' considering the current upward climb is already passing double of a few months ago.

Things sure do suck and might get even worse going by the toshiba news, I could sell half my big box's ram right now and cover the entire cost of the 8x32 reg sticks I got last summer, maybe even throw in a steak dinner on top.
