My server is quite similar, an e3-1275L v3 with 32GB of ECC from a trashcan Mac Pro. I had been planning to migrate my i9 desktop into that role at some point but not supporting ECC you're making me second guess that option. Maybe I'll ebay the lot and get a Ryzen. ;)

I believe alder lake and newer intel desktop chips support ECC, if you get the right motherboard/chipset.

Desktop ryzens support ECC for several generations, but ECC support varies by chipset. AMD forums often discuss it. Some Ryzen motherboards mention the support and certify ECC dimms.

So ECC is possible, but annoying.
