You could first try to go to the "Support page" of this motherboard and 
download the User's Manual. Open up the manual and search around for 
ECC. Usually there is a screenshot of the BIOS/UEFI setup in the manual 
that may look like this:

Also don't hesitate to search on the net for motherboard reviews. If you 
won't find anything, hope is not yet lost. You can contact Gigabyte 
customer service and ask the question there. Keep in mind that just 
because ECC isn't mentioned in the manual or the specs it doesn't mean 
that the motherboard doesn't support it. Sometimes such features aren't 
mentioned.
