MemTest Errors

Hey guys, so I was talking to @Bubblewhale about how my CPU can't get to the same speeds as I had before I added my GPU. He told me to run Memtest. So I ran all 10 test, in single CPU mode with 4 passes. Here are the results.

What do you guys make of this? They're all on Test 6 [block move, 64 moves]. Should I RMA my RAM, or what? Thanks guys.

Remove all DIMMs and re-add one to the DIMM slot farthest from the CPU. Test it again using memtest. If you encounter errors, rinse and repeat with the other DIMM. Also, have you ever encountered anything like BSODs using this RAM?

Only when overclocking. I had another set before this one that I RMA'd because it was DOA.

When you say overclocking, are you saying past the manufacturer's specifications or putting the DIMMs to what the manufacturer advertises(if the advertised speed is an overclocked one)?

I mean overclocking the CPU. I've had no RAM related crashes or BSOD as far as I know.

Then I wouldn't worry about the errors honestly until you start encountering issues in normal day to day use(BSODs and errors in programs).

Alright, I've done a bit of reading and it seems to be a issue with SATA or something, which is weird. I'll test them by themselves anyways tonight.
