  • Memtest86 - long time to finish 4 passes on 8gb memory.

    Hi. I have 8gb ram Kingston Hyperx 1600mhz and to finish all 4 full passess it took 6 hours 30 minutes. My friend have 8gb ram too and to finish all 4 passess takes 3hours 20 minutes. Is something wrong?

    The testing time depends on (in order of deceasing importance),

    - The number of active cores running the tests. On new BIOSs multi-threading is possible. On old ones maybe not.

    - How much RAM is being tested

    - CPU speed

    - Free of Pro edition (the Pro edition as a couple of extra tests).

    - The RAM speed

    This assumes you have all tests turned on, and are running a fixed number of passes.
