Now that I think of it, how did you go finding supported ECC parts for your Ryzen board? Last time I tried finding ECC memory that was on the vendor supported list (for an Asus board) all the parts were rare as rocking horse teeth. I seem to recall the x2100s were pretty lightweight, so a die grinder would probably take care of any metalwork issues like a hot knife through butter. -- Andre van Eyssen.
