Used for: Less than a month
Documentation on which memory counts as supported is vague
Works beautifully once you have the right modules, but working out which ECC kits the board actually supports took longer than the build itself.
Used for: More than a year
ECC support without paying for a full Xeon platform
E-ATX and heavy
Quietly excellent workstation board, never had a correctable error turn into a crash, though I check the log more often than I need to.
Used for: 1–3 months
The reason to buy a W880 board rather than a Z890 is ECC, and this one takes unbuffered ECC modules without any fuss at all. Four sticks recognised, error reporting live in the operating system, which is what I wanted for a machine that runs long jobs unattended. Two 10G ports on top of that, and a VRM that stays in the forties with a 285K flat out. Boring in the best possible way, and two months in I have nothing to add
