Best program for testing RAM?

MooMoo444 · 30 Oct 2010 at 09:55

As topic, occasionally a new build will get stuck on boot, but majority of the time it runs absolutely fine, even in windows while gaming.

The LCD poster that came with the board always hangs on "TEST MEM" when it does get stuck, which leads me to believe the RAM is playing up. (The sherlock in me

)

Therefore I just want to test it, as it's running at its rated frequency, timing and voltage.

I had a google for a program that could do this, but there's so many different ones, and I want to use the best, reliable one.

So which one should I use? How do I use it?

Thanks for the help!

Very odd!

Both tools detected no errors, but at its rated, it sometimes hangs during POST.

So I lowered it from 1600mhz C9-9-9-24 to 1400mhz C8-8-8-21, and it seems to work flawlessly now. Lower latency to compromise the lower frequency, that's good enough for me :cool:

If anyone is wondering, its this stuff:

Might even be able to tighten them a bit more? In my experience tight timings usually provide a better return than a bit of extra fsb speed anyway.

Perhaps =)

What would you suggest?

Well the SPD says 9-9-9-24 for 666 ^^;

Don't know how far I can safely take the voltage too.

I'll have a tinker later, thanks for the help :cool:
