Up until recently I had a Dell pre-built with a single stick of Kingston OEM DDR4 2400Mhz CL18 16GB of RAM. At some point I bought another stick of ‘system specific’ RAM direct from Kingston with identical specs.
I have since transferred the CPU (r7/1700) and RAM to an MSI B450 Tomahawk. To my surprise this RAM seems to overclock safely to 2933MHz/CL16. But I’d like to be sure about the stability before I try overclocking the CPU. A couple of passes with the Windows memory test seemed to clear, but the system still seems a little unstable. I’d use memtest86, but it seems it’s not compatible with UEFI. Anyone have a suggestion for a memory tester? Linux is an option.
