Well first of all I would throw that Memtest86 bootable disk in the trash, as it's pretty much worthless for testing memory OCs. It's really for testing defective memory, as only the most huge errors are detected. I had a set of DDR memory that would pass Memtest86 for 8 hours, but it would fail HCI Windows memtest in 30s. Use this:

It works in Vista as well.
BTW if yo're running that much voltage it's most likely overkill.....also make sure that your NB temps are below 50C when running memory tests, as this is known to cause OC instability. I have a 120mm fan pointed toward that area of my board:

Is this anyway better than using everest memory tester/blend test/OCCT memory test?

What amount should I set the memory for in that test? I have 4096.

Nah, OCCT should be as good. It's just that bootable memtest doesn't use all o f the memory AFAIK.......but OCCT is just as good. I like to run OCCT and memtest as well. I run Memtest for 6 hours or so while I'm asleep.
As for the amount, I would take what they tell you and subtract 5-10 Mb, this way you can still perform some tasks/browse the internet while it runs. I normally set around 1250 or so AFAIK...

Regarding the NB temps:
I don't have any proof, as my temps never get higher than 50C on load, but I've just read this around the internet......that higher NB temps can cause the MCH to become unstable on our boards......but hey more power to ya



safan80 that is a helluva lot of HDD bandwidth....I have two of those WD drives (caviar?) so maybe I should run RAID when I reinstall VIsta next week.....hhmm.....
In all honesty I think that's the highest bandwidth of any HD tach I've ever seen.....
EDIT
Oh striped AND mirrored. Nice. That's a smart setup. TBH that's probably the only way I'd run RAID, as I use one of my 500 Gbs for storing HD movies and such.
