I have memtest86+ running at about 8 passes at present (about a 1.5 days) for a new build. I expect I will leave running it until about 15 passes 2-3 days.
I realise the longer the better, however I was wondering what is the highest successful pass count anyone has had before they actually found an error?

Better question is how many people have encountered an error.

Also, if you have ECC you need to check the event log to see if errors were corrected

To clarify, you'd have to check the IPMI log.

Thanks I was not previously aware of that.
Just checked and the event log was full with FAN alerts (need to update thresholds I believe) so looks like will have to run longer in case any alerts from the RAM rolled off.
