I play games, and sometimes I make things
OK I haven't been updating on this for a while but I did end up buying a separate RAM kit. For the first time since I started doing regular MemTests, I have a PASS at the 2 month mark! Though I had been somewhat avoiding RAM-intensive scenarios this time. Gonna let myself play Minecraft again soon.

Seeing this trend lately and it looked fun. These games are all spaces I grew up in, inspired me to create, influenced my tastes in other games, and/or just had a direct impact.

Got a new motherboard and when I went to swap it out I noticed I had a standoff in the wrong spot 🤦🏽♂️
Anyway I tested my RMA'd RAM and my system's all in order again. Though I'm gonna keep MemTesting for a while to catch it early if there's still something wrong

Wasn't able to update the BIOS through the physical button, but doing it from within the bios itself worked fine. Memtest86 still gives errors. And this is TuxTimings with the new bios, looks very similar. Seems GDM is now enabled and command rate changed from 2T to 1T?

And in terms of the live voltage view I did find github.com/Death4two/Tu... which, assuming I've installed everything correctly, does give me some voltages, but seemingly not all of them. And I've no clue what most of those acronyms mean yet but here they are

Ok so I ran the test with the lower frequency and it still failed, but the errors did drop significantly from 1716 down to 645.

Oh and this is what MemTest86 does if you cancel it early
