3. Haswell is a big question mark right now, but is quite possibly compatible with ecc_check and/or dmidecode.

For what it's worth, both methods seem to check out on my Haswell-based E3 processor + Supermicro board + ECC RAM.

Thanks for testing and sharing Xiche. Much appreciated. :)

Hmm, reading the memtest86+ 5.0 RC thread. It seems it no longer displays the ECC status :(.

I use HCI memtest (worth every penny I paid for it).
