It seems AMD Ryzen CPUs do support ECC, but it's not validated (which is why it won't be mentioned in the official specs). The motherboard needs support for it as well, e.g. I'm eying the ASRock B550M Steel Legend for a fan-less build (unfortunately the Ryzen 3 4300GE (35W TDP) is nowhere to be found :( ) Kind regards, Andrei -- http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser
