Now to find compatible ECC DDR5
My ASUS W680-ACE IPMI is on the way as well. I haven't bought memory yet because I'm waiting for someone to report that they've positively tested ECC memory with the board. Please let us know if your Hynix tests out nicely!
Strange I can't even order today on B&H - they removed the option. B&H chat said they expect stock on Feb 9th.
I guess the upside is I can see if the Hynix SM ECC UDIMMs work on the W680-ACE before ordering.

I just joined the bandwagon and ordered a W680-ACE IPMI. I'm going to rebuild my X13SAE-F server that doesn't seem to like its 13900K even with dialed down wattage. My server reboots to bios every 10 days or so without logging any error to the logs. Another of my X13SAE-F servers with the same config except a 12th gen cpu and earlier bios runs fine so I'm hoping this ASUS will be better the enthusiast CPU. Maybe I'll get to run a benchmark that doesn't report a bottom decile result.
Provantage. I think you said they weren't authorized but they've always been a reliable vendor for me.
OK - peer pressure won out. 
I just ordered one from Provantage as well. 5 left in stock now.
If you guys with the Hynix ECC RAM can pls report back compatibility with the ASUS MB ASARP, would be appreciated, as I can't find anyone who stocks the 32GB ECC Innodisk sticks... and the 16GB ECC are expensive. I'll likely grab a couple of the Hynix if they work.
EDIT: And, of course, an hour after I placed the order with Provantage, I got an In Stock Notification from B&H... despite their agent via chat swearing it won't be in stock for ordering until 2/9....

Now showing in stock at BH https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1740490-REG/asus_pro_ws_w680_ace_ipmi.html
Hello, I hope everyone is having a nice day. I just ordered the w680 ipmi from B&H. I guess ddr4 ecc memory or any ddr4 is out of the question right ?
Hey welcome to the thread. DDR4 will not work with the Asus board.
Hopefully should be able to do some testing tonight

Kingston claims their ECC sticks are compatible with ASUS W680-ACE IPMI.
I ordered some of their 32GB sticks to test.

I'm a bit more confident ordering these Kingston sticks over the Crucial Unbuffered ECC sticks, as Crucial claims theirs are incompatible (untested).
At least I can go back to Kingston and push for a return if they aren't compatible. Or at least I hope I can...

incompatible or untested ? BIG difference.
crucial only mentiones nonECC DDR5 as compatible with Asus W680...
