I found that, at least for DDR4-2400, the ECC price premium is about $50 per 16 GB stick. I sprang for it anyway, but still winced at the cash register racking up the numbers for my own Ryzen upgrade.

It is nice to see "EDAC amd64: DRAM ECC enabled." in my dmesg output. :) That, and the NVMe SSD is screaming fast.

I'm debating whether to try my hand at overclocking my R7-1700, but even leaving it at the stock clocking it's pretty speedy, and it runs cool with the stock cooler.
