Best bootable stability software?

[TheForumTroll]

Hello,

I have some hardware I'd like to throw some tests at and I have not been overclocking for quite some time so I'm out of the loop. I read somewhere that Memtest86 is out when testing DDR5. No idea if that is true? Anyways, any up to date recommendations on software that are bootable (IE. not Windows programs) to stress test and to test for memory errors?

memtest86 and 86+ both support ddr5, iirc they were both just updated in Dec. have you tried them?

Thanks. Didn't see the update. Trying it now.

Does anything good exist to test other hardware like this? I seem to remember all tests I did were in Windows. I'd rather not if possible to exclude other failure points.

I've gotten a lot of mileage out of the Ultimate Boot CD:

Nothing you can't find on line if you look, but here it is in a bootable, stable, easy to use disk image.

"System Stability Tester" is included. But is that a good test program?
