April 21, 20215 yr Hi there, Planning this build for an Unraid NAS + Windows 10 VM. I have searched for weeks about the topic but still have some unanswered questions, hope I will get more chance here. The NAS usage will be normal file server (planning to reach 60 Tb not counting parity) , and the Win10 VM will be used for Digital art software (Clip Studio Paint) with a Wacom Cintiq Pro 16 (this device support touch functions). I want to use ECC memory, and I am concerned about USB and GPU passthrough, latest Nvidia drivers and stuff. The parts: CPU: Ryzen 5 3600/3600x - Ryzen 7 2700/2700x. Used 2nd gen Ryzen is the same price as new 3rd gen, which one is better? Especially concerned about motherboard choice and ECC compatibility. MB: Asus ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING (WI-FI). ECC support is listed with Ryzen 3000. Nothing about the 2000 series. Does anyone know if this board REALLY support ECC functions? I mean not just running the rams but running them with their error detecting/correcting function. Any other tested board? ECC RAM: KSM26ED8/16ME. Only ECC memory present on QVL of Asus and Asrock motherboards that list support of ECC. HBA: LSI 6Gbps SAS HBA Fujitsu D2607-A21 FW:P20 9211-8i IT Mode. Cheapest 8i HBA card I have been able to find. Should I be wary of something? Cables: SAS to SATA. Regular 1 SAS to 4 SATAs cables. What do you think? Any feedback will be appreciated. Thanks for reading.
March 10, 20224 yr Hey, Did you complete this build? I'm curious about your experience with ECC support for that board and cpu. Thanks
March 13, 20224 yr Author Hi, Sorry for the delayed answer, I was a little too busy. I used another combo and ECC works. More details here: https://pcpartpicker.com/b/FqTCmG#cx4086185 Hope it helps.
