A single complete pass is the bare minimum; two full passes are preferable, and four full passes are deemed acceptable for RAM testing. Running just one test four times does not ensure proper validation of the RAM. All 14 tests must be executed, requiring four full passes in total.
Take note that a single full pass requires about an hour for an 8GB RAM stick. That increases to roughly two and a half hours for a 16GB stick. Therefore, it depends on whether you have two 8GB sticks or two 16GB sticks—either way, a full pass could take around two hours or five hours. Four full passes would amount to approximately eight hours if using two 8GB sticks, or twenty hours with two 16GB sticks. This is something to consider.
Then it comes down to MoBo or CPU. No way to test those in single system. Need to have 2nd, compatible system, to test those out.
