Hi,
I've recently bought 16GB of kingston hyperx fury from overclockers.
That was 1 month ago.
Yesterday I tested with memtest86 6.1 and I got 432 failures in 4 passes of the 13th test, the so called rowhammer.
I've found very little information on it. the test is recent (Feb 2015). some just ignore it as very unlikely. memtest86 on the other hand says it is a real error and should be fixed.
some increase voltage...
some people RMAed they modules just to get an other one that fails exactly the same.
hyperx fury seems to fail, while the hyperx savage (newer design?) has 1 user reporting 100% pass.
tried contacting customer service at kingston and got the usual scripted answer.
cannot find any official statement, from any memory supplier.
is it worth the hassle of exchanging it, when there is evidence that it could very well be a design issue, not just a bad batch.
would be good if overclockers.co.uk could test one sample each of the DDR3 they have on sale and report which one pass.
or maybe if we could all test, report results and create a little database.
memtest86 reports my modules as (2 of them)
8GB DDR3 PC3-14900
Kingston / KHX1866C10D3/8G
10-11-10-30 / 933 MHz / 1.5V
432 errors in 4 passes
Lowest Error Address 0x3547BAC (53MB)
Highest Error Address 0x43F4DFB44 (17396MB)
Bits in Error Mask 00000000FFFF5FC7
Bits in Error 27
Max Contiguous Errors 1
any other volounteer around?
