I've built a PC for a friend and I'm currently borrowing it for doing some testing to make sure the hardware is working as it should.
This includes running Memtest86 with the memories at stock, so I haven't fiddled anything with the memory, they're at 2133MHz JEDEC standard. I made sure the DIMMs were properly seated the best I could.
The RAM is a pair of G.Skill Trident Z RGB LED DDR4 3200MHz 2x8GB (F4-3200C16D-16GTZR), paired together with an AMD Ryzen 5 2600, on an ASUS ROG Strix B450-F Gaming motherboard with BIOS version 2301.
I first let a session run during the night, and when I checked it in the morning there had been 1785 errors, all in test #7 at pass #3. The session ran for a total of 7 hours, and finished 8 passes.
I then just launched another session while I was at work etc, and in this session there had been 1790 errors, att in test #10. I couldn't see which pass for some reason, but I would suspect somewhat early in the session as well. This session ran for a total of 11 hours with 12 full passes.
Some notes:
- I have updated the BIOS on the mobo and then loaded optimized defaults.
- The CPU ran pretty toasty, mostly at 85C, but one time I shortly saw it at 92C (no errors occured during the 92C temperature). I've seen that CPU's can get quite warm with Memtest86, however this is really hot. I think I may need to reinstall the cooler.
- The PC currently runs on an SSD that we took from a laptop, and we haven't reinstalled Windows yet as we didn't get the time. This means the drivers are all mismatched, but it doesn't feel like it should affect Memtest86 as it runs outside Windows.
- The RAM has RGB LEDs, so some of the power from the DIMM slots goes to the LEDs.
Could any of this affect the stability results in Memtest86?
Do we need to RMA the RAM sticks?
