Hi
I have been searching alot for a low skylake setup able to utilize ecc memory either in the mini-itx or micro-atx formfactor.
I finally found the gigabyte X150M-Pro ECC which provides the features I request at a reasonable price point.
However reading on the Gigabyte website gigabyte states that this board requires a Xeon cpu to actually
utilize the ECC functionality of the platform. Is this just legacy text they still haven't updated or is it true?
Have any of you guys (and gals) build a system using this board and a lowend cpu and confirmed ECC?
Naturally I will also contact Gigabyte's support for the info and post their answer here.
Most of the skylake based cpu's support ECC, which would indicate that the Gigabyte X150M-Pro ECC should also be able to provide this functionality on the lower priced cpu's, unless it is a bios based software update problem.
