Hi,
I have a few questions regarding results I've received.
I recently built a new PC, and I'm currently testing the RAM.
My build is:
Mobo: Asus X99 A-II
Cpu: I7 6850K @4k
Ram: Corsair "CMK32GX4M4B3200C16W" XMP @3200Mhz
Went through a few Prime 95, Intelburn and RealBench stress tests with no issue (cpu package maximum 78c)
After creating a usb boot of version 7.2, I accidentally loaded the older version 4.3.7 (I had UEFI and legacy options in the boot menu).
After an hour and a half, the "Pass" and "test" reached 100%, but kept going like that for half an hour (I believe it was only on Test #7, for some reason).
In test #8 ("Pass" is still showing 100%) I got "Error Confidence Value: 172":
Lowest Error Address "002e6cb2748 - 118804.6mb
Highest Error Address "002e6cb2748 - 118804.6mb
Bits in Error Mask: 00000040.
(Added a picture of the error)
Later on, when it finished, the "Error Confidence Value" raised to 236 (addresses remained the same)
I ran one pass of memtest86+ 5.01 - no errors.
I read that DDR4 support was introduced in version 6 and above, so I ran version 7.2 (after choosing single cpu instead of parallel, because it seems there's an issue with Asus x99 boards).
First test without turbo mode ran for 12.5 hours (4 passes), core #0 - no errors.
Then I enabled XMP 3200Mhz and processor turbo @4k core #4 out of 12 threads (I chose core #4 because v4.3.7 failed on core #2 (it doesn't include threads, only 0-5)) , ran it for 9 hours (3 passes) - no errors.
I'm planning on running at least 1-2 passes on each cpu core just in case, maybe even one 24 hours test)
My question is - do you think the error was a result of compatibility\support issue or bug?
Should I trust the new version and stick to its results, or run more tests?
Thanks!
