Can Prime95 test memory?

[jincuteguy]

Is there another memory stress test besdies the Memtest? Can Prime95 use to test memory? or it's just for CPU?

Version 25.5 gives you a preset option for it, although it's still not as ideal as some of the other utilities that specialize in memory stressing.

Prime95 and SuperPi both test memory also. They usually produce the same errors as with CPU failure, but if you know that your CPU is stable, then you can be fairly sure it's the memory or northbridge (which contains the memory controller unless it's an AMD chip).

^agreed, Prime95 will do a good job but if your not sure on system stablity you should use dedicated memtesting software

For pure memory tests MemTest86 BootCD is the way to go.

The blend test in Prime95 is a good way to figuring out potential problems whatever the cause.
