Gigabyte AX370 Gaming 5. I'd be wary of the B350 boards with the higher TDP eight core Ryzen CPUs since the VRMs on the cheaper boards tend to have less robust VRM designs. Personally I won't put together a system without ECC RAM both for overall reliability and also the fact that the error reporting will immediately flag (or eliminate) RAM issues when the system is unstable. That pretty much confined my motherboard choices to the higher end X370 motherboards. I think only ASRock makes a B350 motherboard with ECC support. There's no reason that ECC support couldn't be universal other than product differentiation so that the motherboard manufacturers can collect more $$$ from anyone who cares about this feature. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
