Will a non-ECC memory work with motherboard and CPU that supports ECC?

Question

I have this two components that support ECC memory:

On the other hand I have this memory

Questions

Are they going to work together well?
How ECC memory affects to performance? Is this going to work slower in this case?
Will the opposite case work? A motherboard and CPU that do not support ECC memory with an ECC memory?

They'll work fine together. Performance deltas between ECC and non-ECC are negligible, although non-ECC memory can be found with in higher performance variants partially thanks to ECC. Generally, ECC memory will not work in a system that does not support ECC. — JMY1000, Commented Dec 12, 2018 at 21:59

Yes, it does work together.

Yes, this motherboard will run both ECC and non ECC ram (always in non ECC mode though) according to AnandTech.

Will the opposite case work?

Depends. ECC unbuffered memory should work on non ECC memory, from LinusTechTips.
