I understand you're writing late about this. You're considering a new motherboard due to ECC requirements, since your current one lacks it. You mentioned using Blender and other memory-heavy tasks, which is why people suggest ECC RAM. You recall your old PC had ECC and performed well, so you're curious if it still matters today. You also note your fans spin at a moderate speed, wondering if that's enough. Is ECC really worth it for your situation?
It doesn’t matter much. Neither the A620 nor B650 have ECC built in. This feature is typically used for servers handling critical data where losing a single bit could cause issues. It won’t impact video rendering. Your focus seems off. A fresh motherboard isn’t worth the investment—it won’t deliver the performance improvement you need. You haven’t mentioned the graphics card either.
