> ”Unfortunately, when the AMD Ryzen 7000 ‘Raphael’ CPUs were launched along with the brand new Socket AM5, all mention of ECC support was gone.”
Had no idea that 7000s series doesn’t official state support of ECC.
Had no idea that 7000s series doesn’t official state support of ECC.
ASRock's Rack line supports it, for example: https://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=1...
This ASUS motherboard also claims to support ECC: https://www.asus.com/us/motherboards-components/motherboards...
Neither of those were out at the time I originally got my AM5 motherboard (which was right as they came out -- the performance numbers were so good I couldn't help but spring on one early.)
I would be interested in hearing someones experience with getting this board running as a type 1 ESXI hypervisor.
You've misinterpreted the author.
All currently-available Ryzen 7000 series CPUs have official ECC support, but it requires motherboard support as well.[1]
This conditional ECC support has been the case for all past AMD consumer CPUs going back to the original Athlon 64, but the Ryzen 7000 series is the first time I can recall that this support has been explicitly listed on AMD's marketing materials.
What the author is saying is that mention of ECC support had disappeared from ASRock's motherboard documentation. This was a notable change for ASRock, as they had explicitly mentioned ECC support on their previous Ryzen motherboards.
