February 5, 20242 yr I'm new here. Just installed UNRAID. Never setup a server before and the youtubes talked me into using unraid. So far I like it even though I know nothing about linux or terminal commands. Youtube has helped me get some containers, shares, etc. I recently upgraded my RAM to 64gb of unbuffered ECC. I am running the server on a x470 with a Ryzen 7 2700x. I have read conflicting stories on the web about whether my hardware accepts ECC RAM. Everything seems to be detected and working properly however i'd like to test that the ECC is actually working somehow. Does anybody have any direction how to do this in unraid? Thanks
February 5, 20242 yr Author Thank you. Can I run the ECC test through unraid or do I need to run it through a win10 vm? I ran the initial memtest when I installed unraid and everything passed but afaik it didn't perform any ecc tests.
February 5, 20242 yr Author Looks like in order to do a proper injection test I will need Passmark's ECC Tester for $260 or MemTest86 Pro edition for $52. MemTest Pro can't even guarantee the software will work due to Ryzen not being very clear publicly what hardware is supported/capable or not. `In general, ECC injection is not a feature that is normally accessible by end-users. Even if the chipset supports the ECC injection feature, details are often sparse and not described in publicly available datasheets. Consult the datasheet for your CPU/memory controller chipset to determine whether the ECC injection feature is available and fully specified.` Edited February 5, 20242 yr by redrum
