  • [ECC Errors detected] How critical is this?

    I bought some used memory off ebay and decided to test it and make sure I was good. It's just in a home lab server so nothing really critical but from what I've read I wanted to make sure. As long as there are no errors in the counter at the mid-right, it should be fine but it will be needed to be replaced sooner than later.

    CPU(s): 16 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2623 v3 @ 3.00GHz (2 Sockets)
    Memory: 8 x M393A1G43DB0-CPB0Q Samsung 8GB PC4-17000 DDR4-2133MHz ECC Registered CL15 288-Pin DIMM

    I'll have a log file in a couple hours once it finishes the final pass.

    Looks like there were a bunch of 1 bit errors, which were corrected by the ECC function.

      I'm having issues uploading the log files due to the size constraints, what method would you prefer I upload them for review?

        Actually, after posting that, I forgot that Firefox Send is now a thing. Link below.

        Code:

        Also, apologies for double posting, I was unable to edit the message due to new member permissions.

          Log shows a lot of ECC errors.

          This page might help a bit

          But in the end it is up to you to decide what to do about it. How critical it is depends on what the machine is used for.
          Airport traffic control ==> Extremely critical
          Gaming ==> Probably no need to worry, unless all the ECC corrections slow everything down.
