I program as hobby, and found there is a bit of a hoax, or at least somethng to think about when building for programming: An ECC registered capable machine, that simply means workstation.

the memory you purchased for example, it is set to be fast and furious. I just completed my 12th build in 11 years...ECC for me, as ECC is relatively new, and not much talked about. A gamer machine dominates the net..I assume you found your ideas from it as well. I have been that route and changed my mind. (Getting a bit too old for the hype).. When there is no ecc check, there is no errors to notice, until they happen. things can even compile...errored. 1 sneaky wrong bit slithering its way into your stuff..
this includesvideos, or even an open text script file...errored, and hardly diagnosable. If you are serious, go workstation, ignore benchmarks, match your wallett first.

Recommend Use: High Performance or Gaming Memory

the above statement to me has a secret opposite to integrity. the company making it will love you for purchasing...
