![]() ![]() I had used Memtest86 for 10 or more years prior spending hours upon hours with it as far back as Athlon XP with Corsair B5 memory on DFI LanParty Mobo I started looking for an app that would test it from within windows to avoid this. I use HCI Design Memtest Pro the paid version. At the time it was like 7 bucks and I still use the license today. What I like about HCI Design Pro is it automatically calculates how many open instances are required to saturate the available memory you have in your system for a proper test. You run it until all instances have completed all test 100% or more if you feel spunky. I have not had a failure due to faulty memory in windows ever since after timings were tested stable with the HCI memtest. You can accomplish the same affect with the free version but you have to do the calculations yourself. In all fairness Memtest86 still has it merits under the right circumstance. Like say before windows or other OS is installed or used. ![]() Those who want to overclock memory test it before using the timings in windows to avoid corruption and getting things close to stable before testing from within Windows.īottom line they both have a purpose but if you are not overclocking memory and just using XMP settings then HCI Design Memtest is all you need.ġ1-13-13-30 10-12-12-28 10-11-11-28 10-11-11-26 10-11-11-25 10-11-11-24 9-11-11-28 9-11-11-26 9-11-11-24ĬMD2T V1.65 CMD1T V1.65 CMD1T V1.65 CMD1T V1.65 CMD1T V1.65 CMD1T V1.65 CMD1T V1.65 CMD1T V1.65 CMD1T V1.65 The worst part of memory failures is how badly windows behaves when OS corruption occurs causing a format and reload to fix.
