Memtest Errors

[rpalmz46]

Hey just bought some new parts for my system I got a i5-8600k, a msi z370 gaming plus Mobo and a kit of 16gb g skill 2400mhz ram.

I have ran a few memtests because I seen some stuttering in assassin's Creed origins which is only present sometimes and sometimes goes away when I reboot my system. But I decided to memtest to see everything was good and currently in the test it's doing as I write this it has 123 errors I just let memtest run itself to get these results. Now I am wondering are these errors critical and should I be taking this ram back to the store in which I bought it getting these errors. Also will a store even refund ram that works but just gives some errors that I found testing?

Thanks for any replies in advance.

is that with or without XMP enabled?

Xmp isn't enabled I just manually set my ram to ddr2400 on my own is that wrong? I'm new to this chipsrt was recently using haswell architecture

Put it back to 2133 and run the tests again.

And if I still get errors is that bad memory?

Possibly, but when all you do is change the speed from 2133 to 2400, there could be timing changes that need to happen, sub timing changes and possibly voltage changes. if your board supports it, you could enable XMP and test as well as that should change all those things for you.

Well I went into BIOS and loaded optimized defaults and I instantly got like 7 errrors when running memtest again. Also at the end of what seeems to be the error string it says CPU 4 not sure if that's important.

Take a screenshot or picture of it and upload it to us.

Okay I took one of a current test

Confirm in your BIOS that your RAM is set to 2133 and not XMP. Its showing that you have XMP enabled.

Okay also took a image of my BIOS for you.

Thanks. Try upping your Memory Voltage to 1.35v and testing.

Also after leaving the settings I showed u on and saving it and restarting memtest I still got 22 errors right away and you say to add more voltage to my ram ? Wouldn't it be strange that I'd have to do that by default?

Yes, but its safe to run RAM at 1.35v 24/7 as that is what it boosts to with XMP. So lets just test it.

It seems odd in memtest it shows xmp in the ram name but I clearly have it turned off.

Could this possibly be a problem with my settings not saving correctly because even when I tried overclocking this CPU my windows didn't report my actual clock speed in properties like my old 4690k did it would show on could and hwmonitkr but thought was strange nontheless

A new memtest with 1.35v on dram

Windows never reports it correctly. Dont use windows as a gauge if you are showing correctly. Use something like HWinfo to check.

Oh okay I see

so since Memtest is still throwing errors, there are a few possibilities which I am not the most equipped to handle. @done12many2 is more equipped with this stuff. He is a memory guru.

Okay I'll send him a message thanks for your help i just wanted to get this sorted if it is bad take it back you know before I lose my 30 day time.
