So apparently ThinkCentre M910x can be modded for ECC support?

I was reading up this thread on Reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/1d82cql , when I came across a somewhat surprising info, i.e. that the m910x can run an LGA1151 10th gen CPU using one of those Chinese Frankenstein modified CPUs:

More importantly, though, apparently it is also possible to enable ECC with some BIOS modification:

This doesn't seem to be reported in Western internet, but it was on Chinese regarding the MSI B150 motherboard:
B150 M4SMD 主板 支持ECC校验 和 PCIE拆分的说明_哔哩哔哩_bilibili
Also discussed here: https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/msi-b150-and-ecc.2895329/

If anyone speaks Chinese and can shed some light on this, I would appreciate — and I think many more would! I was always under impression that the ECC had to be supported by the chipset, but apparently it does not?
