You should be able to use the Intel i5 6600K in your system. It supports ECC RAM and has an ECC memory module, which is important for stability. Just make sure your motherboard supports it and that you have the right RAM type installed.

- Transitioned to CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
- Because the 6600K lacks ECC support, you must use non-ECC RAM for it.

It's likely the RAM will function, though ECC protection won't be active or set up. If the previous board backs the 6600k, that assumption holds.

It should function properly, though you won't receive ECC advantages—it will operate as regular RAM.

It's unusual for a Pentium CPU to include ECC memory support. The reasoning likely stems from differences in target applications and market positioning compared to Xeon CPUs or modern i5 processors.

No one has tested it yet. Most suggestions seem reliable, but I need stronger confirmation—like proof it functions perfectly or not at all. Anyone know if this is proven to work consistently?

I tested the i5-4570 in my server using ECC DDR3 for VT-d, and everything functioned correctly. It was quickly swapped with a proper Xeon once I realized it worked. Ding-ding-ding
