So I got an extra pair of sticks besides my 2×8 GB 3600 Mhz CL17 HyperX Furys, now I have a glorious 4×8 setup. (The rest of the system: Rzyen 5 3600, MSI B550 Mortar WiFi, 5700XT, fairly fresh BIOS)
My problem is that I ran 4 passes of Memtest86, and you can see the results.
My questions are: is there a way to know which module is faulty, or I should just run the test on them one by one?
All the errors are in test 8 (Random number sequence), what does that mean?
Is there a way to fix the cooked one(s), or replacing them is the only way?
Thank you so much for your help, I'll appreciate any insight or advice.

The issue is probably 4 sticks and/or if you are mixing different kits. Try running the test again at 3200.
Not good at all given Memtest is fairly easy to pass.
5th byte has a stuck bit(s). Try testing it one by one. Try running it on the other slots too. Also, clean the slot and the sticks. Disable any overclock before wasting time testing memory. Could be unstable OC.
EDIT: Did you ran the RowHammer test (test 13)? Looks like the test accidentally triggered the vulnreability, buy better memory lol
>got an extra pair of sticks
of the exact same make & model?
>or I should just run the test on them one by one?
best to test in pairs of two in the standard dual channel configuration.
also it is not sure if there is really a defective stick or if it is just a limitation of the imc with handling 4 sticks @3600
i think even 3400mhz should work already fine if it is just an imc limitation.
also is there a reason you run cl18 when the sticks (or at least 2 of them) are cl17? did you manually set that or did it automatically fall back to cl18?
