Hello, I’m curious about using ECC/registered RAM with your HP Compact Elite 8300 SFF motherboard and the i5-3470 processor. I don’t mind whether ECC is supported, but just want to know if it’s possible and what the implications are. It’s also about whether it would be a good idea given the cost.

Registered RAM requires a particular memory controller for proper function. If it were unbuffered ECC RAM, everything would work correctly (the additional ECC bit would be disregarded).

i7 doesn't have ECC support. That's why ECC is affordable, but few people need it. It's mainly for servers.
