You're checking if the RAM's Chrome interface will continue to be tested while you use your PC lightly. It depends on the specific software or tool you're running—make sure it's designed for testing RAM performance. If unsure, ask the developer or check the documentation.
Recent conversations suggest memtest is ineffective, recommending testmem5 instead—a Windows tool.
I doubt any memory checker works without being bootable. There will always be a big chunk of memory an in-OS tool can't examine. I'm confident it's more challenging than memtest on the RAM it can access, yet this shows only 12.4 GB of your 16 GB is tested—almost a quarter remains unchecked.
Yes, that's why I'm inquiring. Were you thinking it would be smart enough to shift the data, hehe?
Windows controls how memory a program receives. It doesn't have direct access to physical memory, which enhances security but complicates hardware testing. For stability checks during overclocking, this is useful. If you suspect RAM issues, a bootable tool like memtest can thoroughly assess performance. You could also run both methods for more comprehensive coverage and basic validation.
This approach will make apps pause so testing covers all memory areas. Testmem5 and Prime95 excel at spotting memory stability problems linked to heat.
