January 7, 20215 yr I am planning on building a new UnRaid server that will also run a few gaming machines with a Threadripper. I would like to get ECC RAM for the server but I don't really know how that will perform for gaming. It looks like a lot of the ECC RAM is much slower than RAM designed for gaming. Would it make much of a difference to use the slower ECC RAM for gaming? Would I be better off putting ECC only in a few DIMMS and gaming RAM in the rest? Will that even work?

January 7, 20215 yr Considering the maximum spec for Zen architecture, there is ECC RAM at 3200MHz.

I believe Zen3 only takes unbuffered. I did see Kingston RAM that will work, which just appears to be the same RAM you posted but their branding. Unfortunately, it's literally the only one I have found that is ECC unbuffered, unless I want a smaller module size. I'd rather avoid that so it doesn't complicate future upgrades.
