stumbled across this bit of info online on how to check if you have ecc or non ecc. tried on my system and it shows

//Non-ECC Memory
DataWidth TotalWidth
64 64

and code 3.

so if below is a correct way of showing your running ecc or non ecc it appears mine is running non ecc

in command prompt type this

wmic MEMORYCHIP get DataWidth,TotalWidth

If the TotalWidth value is larger than the DataWidth value you have ECC memory.

Example output:

//ECC Memory
DataWidth TotalWidth
64 72

//Non-ECC Memory
DataWidth TotalWidth
64 64

A better way to determine is via the following command:

wmic memphysical get memoryerrorcorrection

This will return a code based on the type of memory installed:

Value Meaning
0 (0x0) Reserved

1 (0x1) Other

2 (0x2) Unknown

3 (0x3) None

4 (0x4) Parity

5 (0x5) Single-bit ECC

6 (0x6) Multi-bit ECC

7 (0x7) CRC

again trying to read up on ecc and non ecc they seem to say the number of chips for ecc are in multiples of 3 or 5. i have 8 chips on mine, 4 on each side. from my reading if it were ecc it would have a 9th chip. hopefully somewhere here can clear this up?

Update on this. After more digging around the sk hynix site I found a breakdown of what the part number means. And the (6) In mine means x64/lp. So I have 64bit memory (non ecc) if it were a 7 8 or 9 it would be 72bit memory (ecc)

Cheers for the help
