I’ve had plenty of servers with faulty ecc dimms that didn’t trigger , and would only show faults when actual memory testing. I had a hard time convincing some of our admins the first time ( ‘no ecc faults you can’t be right ‘ ) but I won the bet.
Edit: very old paper by google on these topics. My issues were 6-7 years ago probably.
