ECC memory seems to work well with AMD 5950x

I was a little concerned as I had never heard of this brand, but it seems to work well in my new AMD 5950x build. I used 4 x 16GB sticks because with 16 cores I could run multiple VMs, databases etc. So maybe 64GB wouldn't be total overkill. Memtest 86 9.1 (not memtest 86+) shows that ECC is present and the configuration has passed memtest 4 times. I haven't tried to verify that ECC actually fixes errors, I'll just take my word for it. You can probably find faster memory, but ECC is the real draw for me. Faster memory probably won't result in a noticeable performance improvement in most use cases, but random bit swaps can cause all sorts of problems. It was installed on the Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master motherboard. I would like to use something from the qualification list, but it had the same properties as one of the options on the list.

Pros
  • Computer Components
Cons
  • poorly designed
