questions about stress testing ram

[dreamcast4599]

so i just bought some new ram and since im gonna be tinkering with the timings whats the best program to use to stress test ram for stability when i overclock so far all i know of is memtest86 memtest86+ and memtest64 i have a 3900x if it matters

Usually memtest86 is the way to go 

Just set the OC profile and run it for a while

@TofuHaroto should i use the bootable version of memtest86 or no?

I've seen P95 and OCCT fail where memtest passes.

Test multiple. OCCT is good for variance and variety. Can test heavy load, large data set and cpu at the same time. 

Memtest just tests the memory.

^ this is probably a better option

@TofuHaroto if im keeping my cpu at stock and just using pbo then i only need to test the memory am i not correct?

Pbo sets an oc for your cpu

Usually it's a modest OC nothing too much but If you want to be sure you can run stress tests like cinebench just to make sure

@dreamcast4599 Memtest is good, I'm saying not to solely rely on it. Your infinity fabric will also overclock with the memory if the option remains on automatic (aside from using PBO).
