Weird memtest86 results
3 hours ago, Yolofolks said:I've though of this as well, but after i repasted and cleaned it it still gave the 42 errors (which is less) and failed the memory tests both memtest86 and windows memory diagnostic.
And it suddenly passed with no errors this morning so im not really sure what to conclude about this
is it fine for now and will it become unstable again?
I would use it under the assumption that it has just fixed itself, but would check again somewhat soon and regularly for a bit (once or twice a week for 2-3 weeks). It could be that it had avoided retraining the memory that first boot after repasting it, then finally did a retrain and started working and will continue to work as it's training with lower temps. It could also be a difference in mounting pressure of the heatsink, it was initially too low causing errors, then when you repasted it it was a little high, but as things compressed it became just right and everything works and will continue to do so.
That is very weird, 100%, but not theoretically impossible.
