Usually it works without problems. Check with the mainboard manufacturer if it supports ECC memory. Most do, some don't.

It works, but does it “work”? As in, does it error correct? Supposedly errors are so rare I’m not even sure how you could test this.

Yes it does actually work. The easiest way to intentionally trigger memory errors is overclocking.

Some people overclock the memory. It'll make errors at some point.

If you look closely at what AMD says it might make you question it. They specifically say they don't disabled it on their desktop chips but they don't test it. Basically a YMMV statement.
