May I suggest to also run memtest if you're gonna tune these kind of things. Your computer may appear to work normally after changing the settings, but memtest can reveal unnoticeable memory errors.
- bravetraveler 2y agoGood suggestion, though I have - Prime95, memtest, many long workloads :) With DDR5 and really, most modern hardware, having some more robustness (that pseudo-ECC whatever, clock stretching)... it might be worth considering performance as part of your validation
- oakpond 2y agoSounds good. I didn't mean to make a suggestion personally to you by the way. Sorry if it seemed that way. English is not my native language. My remark was more targeted towards the reader of the thread who gets curious and may start experimenting.
- bravetraveler 2y agoTotally fair :) I err towards defensive, no harm done
- noverify 2y agomemtest is a pretty basic test and is not very reliable at triggering errors in memory pushed just past of what it is capable of. It's fine to run it as a smoke test before booting into the operating system (to make sure it won't crash right away), but after that you're gonna need something like TestMem5. I keep a Windows install just for this.
- oakpond 2y agoCool, didn't know about TestMem5 until now. Thanks!
