Default Re: Mushkin 996587 Memory Stability Testing and Review

Well, these sticks of mine comes with an electric blue heatsink very similar to the ones on your post, except for the clip between heatsinks. I know they are "value" RAM but the problem is they fail at the same rate at stock and overclocked (i've tried until 965 mhz).

On Sunday, I fixed my old computer (AMD athlon xp2500,very old..., psu died) and I was able to dowload memtest86+ 2.1 and others, and tried with different combinations, and evry one of them failed. Only recently I've noticed the fail is often on test 7, address 922MB to 1080 approx. up to 229 errors in 2 rounds ), so this is i Was wondering if one of the sticks is faulty.

But, just in case, here are my specs right now:

I will try in a few minutes to upload some pictures i've made with the results of the last memtest

Thanks for your help

I appreciate it a lot.
