Destiny129 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I am building a new server with a Ryzen 5950X on ASUS PRO WS X570-ACE motherboard which you will notice uses ECC RAM. Great for a server but not sure RAM PC vs RAM ECC which one is better for open ark server ? And need to use ECC RAM or not, if not i will use PC RAM it cheaper more ECC RAM.

1nc0mp3t3nc3 Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 I would always go for ECC if you have compatible hardware, but I haven't heard of any real benefits of using ECC. I opted for ordinary RAM because my rig was already costing me $4500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No real benefit for a game server. It's more about protecting data inserted into a database, financial/medical records. When the numbers and decimal points really matter.

1nc0mp3t3nc3 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 oh, I know that, but there is also the slow degradation that comes as a result of keeping any Windows OS running for extended periods of time without a reboot that ECC helps to prolong. That's the only possible benefit I could see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
