Ryzen supports ECC memory.

[asder12]

Apparently according to motherboard manufacturers ryzen chips support ecc memory,here is a screenshot from x370 Taichi spec list

 

There is also a Reddit post pointing that and a oc3d article.

1. ECC support is not given by the mobo, but by the CPU; or both
2. ASUS PRIME X370-PRO, for example, does not list ECC support: https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/PRIME-X370-PRO/specifications/
3. https://www.servethehome.com/amd-ryzen-7-parts-available-for-pre-order-now/

We did ask about a potential single socket Ryzen/ Zen part with ECC memory support and were told that AMD was not announcing such a product at this time alongside the Ryzen/ Zen launch.

Ryzen "supports" ECC

Ryzen "supports" ECC 

I never said that ecc is given buy the mobo but if a lot of x370 spec that they support them it means that Ryzen CPUs can utilize ecc technology.

 

and yes ecc support is also determinedly by mobo put an e5 v4 on a x99 (except asrock an ws ones) and add ecc ram and see if ecc functionality is working.

a lot of who!?

 

in previous post I gave the ASUS x370 link - does not support ECC

GigaByte - accepts ECC DIMMs, but opperate in non-ECC mode:

• http://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-AX370-Gaming-K7-rev-10#sp
• http://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-AX370-GAMING-5-rev-10#sp

MSI - accepts ECC DIMMs, operate in non-ECC mode: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/X370-GAMING-PRO-CARBON.html#productSpecification-section

 

and I can keep going if you want 

[asder12]

Apparently asrock support ecc.

[3DOSH]

It was not confirmed or denied  from reliable source yet so leave it at that until we have offical word.

I saw Wendell asking the same thing on twitter with no answer yet.

yes yes ...  3 of the major mobo manufacturers do not support ECC functions

but AsRock .. they added pixie dust to their mobos, I suppose

Go with Asus as they were only motherboard supports ECC for AM3+, I have found budget board from ASUS that supports ECC and but forgot the name of it. It didnt say it like operated in non-ecc mode, so i presume it should work. Just have to wait for reviews to come out to be 100% sure.

the ASUS PRIME X370-PRO used to say on it's original page that it supported ECC

ASUS redacted that out, it now sais it doesn't support ECC

 

other 2 major mobo manufacturers specifically state that their mobo(s) accept ECC DIMMs but in non-ECC mode

my take on this is that AMD told them Ryzen will support ECC, but something went wrong and ECC support was scrapped

Always both.

Likely someone durp'd and took the technical info of the Zen architecture supporting ECC to mean these Ryzen CPUs do.

I thought workstations also benefit from the stability not just servers

[rjfaber91]

The blurb on the Gigabyte Aorus X370-Gaming 5 that I preordered put it best, I think:

 

"Support for ECC (operate in non-ECC mode)"

 

Yeah, I wouldn't keep your hopes up...

[ShiftyFella]

This makes me happy. I was worried AMD pulled Intel on us for a sec

Zen probably does, but for the server chips later in the year, not the consumer ones (Ryzen) coming out now.

that's the other platform, not AM4 - forgot it's name

you can't confuse them

Ah.  I thought they were all classified under the Zen name, sorry.

 

The server chips are based on the same architecture, though, so the spirit of my point stands -- the overall architecture (probably) supports it, just not the consumer chips.

the arch is still Zen, in the grand scheme, but AMD calls it something else

Now I do agree with you however for what is worth it AsRock has done things no one else did in the pass like their H and B motherboards that could OC hahaha

Well they're not wrong. There aren't any ryzen opterons yet. Duh

Nor will there be. There also, in breaking news, won't be Ryzen Athlons, or Athlon Opterons...

 

There will be Zen Opterons (as well as most probably Zen Athlons and Zen Semprons), of course, but we basically don't know anything about them yet.

I thought they had to change the name due to patent issues? Unless it was just for these CPUs they're coming out with now and the architecture is still called "Zen*

It's not about ryzen, amd or anything else -  you don't buy a brand new architecture cpu for serious server use. It's good that the support is there, but that doesn't mean it will be adopted en masse by businesses on launch day. It could become a good option in a year or so, but it would be too risky to invest on ryzen on launch.

Servers are a bit different in this respect as the major vendors do a great deal of testing and publish HCL and software lists. Once you have the seal of approval from HPE/Dell/Lenovo etc and server systems go on sale you are rather safe. Nothing is perfect, we've had plenty of issues with Intel based servers on well proven architecture so it's not like people don't plan for this already.

 

There is also a reason desktop platforms are released first, Intel does this too. Consumers are crash tests for the server market lol.

 

Edit:

Oh and server replacements happen in line with budget lines and replacements cycles. Only people buying new Zen server systems early on will be for new/additional systems and proof of concept deployments.

Don't think it will be the same socket through, am4 socket is a little small for 32 core,and quad channel should also be a thing for the servers..just a thought

It's not the same socket, AMD has already confirmed this along with it also being LGA.
