ANY AM3+ Motherboard That Support ECC RAM

[quevas]

Looking for a motherboard that supports the Phenom II X6 1065 CPU that I can use ECC Memory with. Looking to use my old pc parts and make a home NAS with FREENAS

You don't need ECC for a home NAS server.

Yes i know but would like the extra level of security which comes with ECC RAM

 

[quevas]

I will be using ZFS

What extra security do you think there is with ECC ram?
What do you intend to use the NAS for that ECC ram would benefit?

With ZFS it's the security of not potentially trashing all the data in your pool by having a faulty memory stick polluting the hash values during a scrub. ECC memory is explicitly recommended for systems with ZFS for precisely this reason.

to actually get around to answering your question, instead of questioning why you want to run EEC memory, this should help you out: https://pcpartpicker.com/forums/topic/99616-asus-am3-motherboards-support-ecc-memory
