The lower bound seems to be two passes, as only the second one will be a full test.īut the question of "how much is enough" has no real answer. My opinion as regarding the number of passes is that one should run as many Limit to the number of passes required for an absolutely conclusive result. Taking it to absurd heights, we might conclude that there is no upper Pattern for each pass, meaning that each pass is different. I also remark that many of the tests use a random pattern, with a different Which I take as the upper bound on the number of passes required for This test is quite effective atĭetecting data sensitive errors but the execution time is long.Ĭonclusion 2: Test 7 needs 32 passes to be totally complete, The startingīit position is shifted left for each pass. This is a variation of the moving inversions algorithm that shifts theĭata pattern left one bit for each successive address. The largest number of passes I have found was in this test: The fact that the first pass has passed without error isĮncouraging, but users of the Free version need to wait for the second pass Iterations) in order to detect the most obvious errors as soon asĬonclusion 1: The first pass is shorter and faster, intended mostly to detect Specifies whether the first pass shall run the full or reduced test.īy default, the first pass shall run a reduced test (ie. More information about the optimal number of passes can be gleamed from the articleįrom the description of the MemTest86 config file, mt86.cfg, available only in You may see the differences in the article Version has several more tests than the Free version and configuration options.

I should remark that MemTest86 has two versions, the Free and Pro, where the Pro If you run less than 8 passes you will be asked to run it again. If you are asked to run MemTest86+ by a Ten Forums member make sure you run the full 8 passes for conclusive results. MemTest86+ needs to run for at least 8 passes to be anywhere near conclusive, anything less will not give a complete analysis of the RAM. Now for the bad news: I have found at least two respectable sources, MemTest86 has evolved, and so has the RAM.Īlthough the RAM has become faster, the tests are still time-consuming, More RAM than for a mainframe of 20 years ago.

RAM has much increased, to the point that a portable phone may today contain While doing so, it has also becomeĪ good all-around test, since some of the tests also touch upon the motherboard's MemTest86 tries to do a complete test of the RAM.
