PC Processors

Hi. I'm having trouble finding unequivocal specs for 5950x regarding ECC memory support. Recently I've upgraded my CPU on Aorus Pro x570 MOBO from Ryzen 2600 to 5950x. Though so far I didn't plan on using ECC, now - in the face of forthcoming RAM expansion to MOBO's max, i.e. 128 GB - I was advised to go for ECC modules, as should always be the case if going over 32 GB of RAM.

Now the mobo does support ECC, but some sites that gather CPU specs hint at 5950x being the only 5000 series CPU that does not support error correcting modules.

Is it true? Anyone has knowledge or expirience to clear it all up?

Someone previously at AMD Forums asked the same question in which I tried to help him. But according to the OP of the Thread, AMD Support after being contacted, did say that the 5000 series processors will support ECC Memory: https://community.amd.com/t5/processors/ryzen-5000-series-ecc-support/td-p/428780

I found that MSI and Gigabyte has motherboards that supports ECC Memory and also supports the 5950x processor.

But they are very few from 1 to 4-5 RAM Memory modules that support ECC unbuffered.

Asus QVL RAM Lists doesn't show ECC compatibility

Went to this website that show the 6 best Motherboards for your processor: https://premiumbuilds.com/motherboards/best-motherboards-for-ryzen-9-5950x/

Right you are with this selection of mobos for 5950x, and luckily I did build my system on Aorus Pro x570. And yes, I've already looked around for and seen the scant selection of compatibile non-buffered EĆC modules.

Anyways, you calmed me with the former reply - if there's Amd support statement, that the CPU supports ECC, I'm fine with that.
