CPU modes on Memtest86?

steffeeh · June 5, 2017

So I'm on one of those machines whose BIOS won't work with running multiprocessor mode in PassMark Memtest86, I've tried it and it just freezes, and it also says it in the menu that my firmware have known issues.

The reason for me running Memtest86 is RAM overclocking, so I'm only running one pass of the full test as well as a short custom pass for the IMC - all just to check so the IMC "likes" the overclock config for the moment before slamming it with a stress test.
In other words, I'm not troubleshooting anything, only temporarily checking overclock stability.

So what do I do now? Is it needed to run each core with a full Memtest86 pass? Or is it enough to just pick the default core #0 and be done with the results? Otherwise I'm looking at 6x passes, one for each core, all at roughly 45 min each, plus 25 min for the extra IMC test - which is pretty long.

--> Also, what are those remaining options for CPU modes in the menu, Round Robin and Sequental? <--
