The Industrial/Wide Temperature ones have shown good results with those who have tried them whereas ECC is still only a recent matter. It does correct the soft/hard bit errors but you just might not hear it. Or you might hear something different but not necessarily better in this case.

 

Note that if your CPU doesn't support ECC functionality (Intel Xeon's do), it is just one extra bit per word of available memory that is sitting unused. So unless CPU's memory controller actually does something about the parity bit, it doesn't have any error correction effect.

 

Typical result of bit errors is application or operating system crash.

 

Note though that tight packed DDR3L SO-DIMMS are more susceptible of certain types of memory errors than desktop/server full size DDR4 memory.
