hi.. everyone.
is any software to detect Memory Temperatur ?
or i only check with memtest86 ?
if memtest86 say is OK, is than meaning ok ?
coz the memtest86 only test memory short-term
not like OCCT testing the processore, we can set a priode of time (2 hour or more longer).
thank's

are you suspecting memory errors due to heat? You should run a long memtest, maybe overnight. I accidentally left my rig running over the weekend and it ended up passing 42/42 tests, but i had an 80mm fan sitting right next to the mem. As far as I know memory modules don't have temperature sensors embedded in them. Anyone know of anything different? Memtest will loop and run as long as you leave it alone.

only thing I have seen even close to a temperature for ram was some old GEIL DDR that had a temperature sticker on the spreaders.

Memtest86 short term? You can let memtest run for days if you would like.

no usable temperature sensors in memory. gddr5 is supposed to add on-die temp sensors but the big question is how to read it without crashing the whole system
