i seriously hope you dont do this.

RAM is becoming too big to test.

>>106226787 (OP)
I'm not a retard I haven't had a bluescreen in 6 years

>>106226787 (OP)
i dont have bluescreens and i have never tested any of my hardware i just run them with default settings until they die and i replace them. most of my hardware works for decades. just werks

>>106226787 (OP)
My 5 years old Corsair 8gb ram didn't pass the memetest86 too. I changed it for Kingston (I think) 8gb and never had any Firefox crash again. That's it.

>>106226877
prove it

This was the story of Windows Millennium by the way.

A single pass on 2x48GB kit takes 45 minutes, you can for sure spend 5 hours to do 7 passes

>>106226834
Leave it running overnight.

What's the go-to FOSS app to test RAM?

>>106226787 (OP)
Not nearly as much of a problem if you don't use crap like XMP/Expo
>but muh ram speed
You where sold on a lie that overclocked RAM was without issues or that it was even suitable for production use.

>>106228020
Scan your ID and post a face to get a reply, kid

>>106228050
XMP/EXPO is still a JEDEC spec

>>106228020
Make your own bash script

>>106228087
Is it?

>>106228442
That would require an operating system to be running under it. That doesn't test all RAM.

>>106226787 (OP)
i need to test the ram in my homeserver because it's been exhibiting some strange behavior recently, but it is completely headless. surely there is a way to run memtest over the network in this year of our lord 2025?

>>106228596
ipmi will do it sorry about ur sub standard home server

>>106228585
you can make a C program ram checker that runs on top of 64 bit WindowsXP (which needs 128MB of ram to boot) so you test 31.872G of ram out of 32 which is still good enough

not my problem the Linux Kernel is a bloated piece of shit

>>106228087
No it's not
The only thing that relates to JEDEC is the standard to even have extended profiles in the SPD.

Expo/XMP otherwise has nothing really, JEDEC doesn't specify standard timings, speeds or voltages for XMP/Expo, there is no expectation for interoperability or substitution within that ecosystem.

>>106226787 (OP)
Nah, I did actually test it on all my systems which aren't running default / JEDEC. All rock solid as far as RAM is concerned.

Man I haven't done a RAM test in a long time I don't even remember why I did it

My ram passes memtest but im paranoid that my sub timings are actually a detriment. It used to not pass with looser sub timings but I dont remember what options or voltages I changed and I feel like its only working because I gimped it. Im too scared to change anything I need a professional ocing friend

What happens if you have soldered ram

>>106228020
MemTest86+

>>106226787 (OP)
my PC is pretty fucking stable. havent gotten a bluescreen in at least 2 years despite running an outdated windows 11 developer alpha and quite literally never turning my PC off. 39 days since i have restarted

>>106231562
you get to learn a valuable lesson

>>106226787 (OP)
>19gb/s
why is it so slow

>>106228087
Those are overclocks. Also you get some sick voltages from expo. My AMD system goes to 1.3v soc at 6000mhz expo profile. I like that voltage so little that I'm running 5600 MHz. I can lower voltage and still boot at 6000, but it's still over 1.2v and there's no way to go lower. With 5600 I dont even need close to 1.2v.

This shit ain't good.

>>106229143
There are distros which use 64mb though

>>106226787 (OP)
I test it overnight every few months though. I already got bitten by ghost BTRFS checksums.

XMP/EXPO is just a profile at a higher frequency, it is tested and the memory is guaranteed to be stable (if it's not you can always RMA it)
Enabling XMP/EXPO is not considered ram overclock and it will not void your RAM warranty.

On the other hand your MOBO, may not be able to properly transmit the signal at high frequencies or your CPU memory controller may not be able to handle it. Increasing the controller frequency/voltage to keep it 1:1 or 1:2 is considered overclock

>>106226787 (OP)
It is possible for programs with the motherboard/CPU to result in errors in RAM.
You may have to check more than one set of RAM to find this.
