dmidecode -t 17

Memory Device
Array Handle: 0x0030
Error Information Handle: 0x003F
Total Width: 72 bits
Data Width: 64 bits
Size: 16 GB

According to dmidecode it is properly utilizing ECC, my non ECC systems only show 64 total and data width.

I totally went on a guess if this would work as there is not very much 'complete' information on this build. As mentioned in the link you posted its very hit or miss. Since I have ZFS running on here, one of its soft requirements are ECC so I wanted to ensure I had it fully implemented or not.

I am using my old desktop platform on an Asus Prime Pro x470 with this memory. Its clocked at 2666MHz with some fairly loose timings (no XMP/DOCP, I kept timing stock). I was able to easily get it to 3200MHz with a slight voltage increase for some slight gains.

The G CPU's are not all dreams, I had to update my stable Debian's kernel to a backport and to use tools like radeontop or nvtop I had to compile them in manually as the distro ones are too old to read the Renoir based GPU. Outside of that, everything works great for Jellyfin running behind linuxservers docker container. I used the linuxserver/mods:jellyfin-amd docker mod on their jellyfin container and it worked right away. H264/H265 and HDR support all out of the box.

Its a great chip, I am very happy with my purchase. 4.2GHz all core with boost around 4.6GHz.

Thanks for the reply! It does seem like, from my research, that the Asus boards (specifically Prime, but probably all of them) support ECC completely. But as you said, this information is not centralized anywhere. Just random forum posts like this.
