You have to look for boards that explicitly claim ECC support and have a CPU that also supports ECC. Most consumer hardware doesn't.

If someone did not use reason to reach their conclusion in the first place, you cannot use reason to convince them otherwise.

Yes, to be specific only server chipsets can run ECC reg.

example, Ryzen supports ECC memories, but not for ECC reg.

only Threadripper PRO and Epyc support ECC Reg.
