3 Reasons Not to Use ECC RAM in a Crypto Mining Rig

Crypto mining is error-tolerant A single bitflip in memory might cause an invalid hash, costing you one share. The odds are astronomically low, and the lost share is worth pennies.

ECC RAM costs real money for negligible gain You would spend extra on ECC RAM and a compatible motherboard for maybe a 0.01% improvement in effective hashrate. That money is better spent on an extra GPU.

Heat, power efficiency, and GPU stability matter more The bigger issues in a miner are heat, power efficiency, and GPU stability. Undervolt your GPUs and put a fan on the RAM sticks instead of worrying about ECC.
