Xtreme torture test of ram in Memtest86 (good for VX)

I agree with Ryan. Here's a safer way to do it:

- Find the maximum frequency you can loop Memtest Test #5 without errors
- Tweak the voltage for the above frequency until you start noticing errors in Memtest
- Loop Memtest Test #5 at the above frequency and voltage overnight
- Loop Sandra Memory Burn-In the next night
- Loop 3DMark2001 Lobby the third night
- Loop Prime95 Torture Test Blend the fourth night
- On day 5, see if you're stable and error-free at a higher frequency.

I've got it in my congested head that the above will work well because you're making good use of all memory addresses.

Believe it or not, I've had my VX for almost a month and I'm still burning it in in hopes of accomplishing better when I step up to NF4/FX-55.

Good luck! And keep those fans blowing.

One more thing... once you find a Memtest #5 stable point I advice running MemTest on ALL tests for a night or so. You may find other tests are failing... for me, test #7 seems to indicate the memory controller needs more vCore.

I have to weigh in also. Any testing that is cuasing exterme heat can be bad. Real world testing in much better.
