    Memtest useless for TCCD?

    I have been trying to get my TCCD stable for a few weeks now at DDR600-610. I can run memtest for days with no errors but still get errors in windows (SuperPI32M). I added a divider and used a low multi to see if the MB was having troubles at 300FSB but that is not the case. I have also tweaked almost every secondary RAM setting there is. I am using 2.8 and 2.9v.

    See what I mean:


    Is memtest useless or am I missing something?

    782 runs of test 5 (10.5 hours), plus I ran all tests for 16 hours the night before.

    Memtest generally blows
    It's not as usefull as many would like to believe! Not only with TCCD but in general. Memtest-stability and "real-world" stability don't really cross ways in the same point.

    Memtest is good for trying to max your memory without killing your HDD, which isnt even a problem anymore really. Back when PCI locks didn't exist, memtest was worth its weight in gold.
