I ordered new DDR4 RAM from an online supplier. On arrival the seal was broken. I'm still waiting for my ddr4 motherboard which is on back-order. Thus, I do not have a system to validate the integrity of the RAM (neither does my friends). The supplier warrants a 48 hour free return & exchange if the product is "dead on arrival". I want to ask a local dealer's service department if they would let me test it on one of their work benches. The thing is, because the seal was broken I don't just want to see if it works, I want to validate it if its running at the stated timings and speed, stress test it a little, and benchmark it.

 

Could you please suggest software (and settings) I can use [that would not take too much time and hassle the local supplier who would be doing me a huge favor] for:

1. validating that the RAM is running at correct Speed (2666 Hz) and timings - (I'm aware that I need enable XMP for this)

2. Stress the RAM to test stability

3. Benchmark to test if the RAM is up to spec - if you recommend a benchmark software, please also indicate an acceptable score for Corsair's 2x16GB (32GB total) DDR4 2666 Vengance LPX low profile.

 

TIA
