My question is that I ran memtest86 when i got this system, and i had one error during the 13th test, Hammering. It was only a single error. I have it running right now as well(at work at the moment but wife sending me updates) but still has not had another error. So i have passed 7 out of 8 test.
My question is that most research i have done says that one error is not acceptable.
But on the other hand, my research led me to a few articles about DDR3 memory being Vulnerable to the Hammering. Everytime it starts Test 13 hammering, i get a note that says my memory is vulnerable to hammering. So what is the final verdict on this. The way i read some articles, it seems like this was a known issue, and i think they even updated the memtest because ddr3 memory was failing hammering quite often. I can not get the error to repeat and from what i have read a single error in the test 13 hammering is not a dire error and does not to a everyday gamer situation.
any advice of what i should do. I dont know if i should just let that one error go, or start the RMA process.
here are my specs.
