Yes I know full ECC is recommended and preferred, but if you only had the choice of JEDEC spec RAM without ECC, which is more reliable DDR4 or DDR5?
I have heard even consumer level DDR5 has some ECC built into the chips itself but only at the RAM level where as DDR4 does not. Does that offer any better protection than non ECC DDR4, but not as good of course as full on ECC DDR4 or full on ECC DDR5?
Or does it make 0 difference?
How about other ways of reliability like the RAM sticks themselves and IMC and such for consumer grade non ECC DR4 vs DDR5?
