The warning about high-frequency row hammer bit flips in Memtest is a potential concern.
Hey everyone, I just purchased a used DDR3 Kingston RAM from eBay for my old PC. It was the HYPER X FURY HX318C10FRK2/16 (2X8 GB) DDR3-1866 CL10 model. My 8GB RAM was limiting performance, so I upgraded it. I ran a memtest at the clock speed and everything checked out fine. However, there’s a warning about possible high-frequency row bit flips. Is this a big issue? I’m thinking about returning it and buying something else if it’s worth it. Any advice would be appreciated!
The initial scan of Memtest runs at the highest speed, while the subsequent check occurs at a slower pace. This setup ensures that under typical conditions your RAM performs adequately, as the warning indicates it failed the first test but succeeded the second.
