Kingston HyperX RAM-Row Hammer update. I haven't had the hoped for explanation from Kingston regarding slowing of the Memtest with repetition. So this remains a mystery to me. I did return my original HyperX SODIMM set and the second HyperX kit sent to me, keeping the standard speed kit that passed ...

PostPosted: Sat 05 Sep 2015, 04:20 Post subject: I had the same with 16gb desktop of desktop ram , The first pass was fast but every pass after that got slower and slower until it was at a crawl. But that's to be expected as you are electively DDOS'ing the ram and forcing continuous flipping of dat...

It was a few weeks ago that i done 4 passes of #13 but from what i remember it was like 3 hours , Pass 1 was just over 20mins and pass 4 was something like an hour and 10 mins. The difference was quiet extreme. If you ran the memtest battery, except for the Row Hammer test, you'd find similar slowi...

.... when you restart from #1 you are clearing the ram so you don't get the same hammering or slow down. Temps wise it was not as extreme as your laptop but it was higher than normal , it started around the mid to high 30's and was in the mid to high 50's by the end of the test with the fan spinnin...

Cheers for the update and sorry to hear that it's still a problem. :( You're welcome. And to put the problem into perspective, I was given to understand that Kingston has known about the issue since 2012, but considered it essentially a server problem, not a likely issue for a PC user. I was also t...

This week I received replacement HyperX RAM from Kingston and tested it. The Row Hammer test produced several times more errors in this brand new RAM than it did in the (same spec) RAM I've used for almost 2 years (24 to 55 errors per pass vs. 3 to 6 errors). I was pretty upset and complained heated...

new and old apps failing
Just ran some tests on old apps brought over from Lupuplus5.2.8-5, where they worked, into sulu4. 1. xfprot - the update function appears to work, according to the terminal display and time of download. However, scans don't seem to work. There's no report, either of suspicious files, nor even when &...

BootManagerlists
Have accessed Boot Manager finally to see what's going on with the kernel modules, and am no wiser. So have taken pupsnaps of the lists in the hope they will make sense to others on the thread. Looking at the preferences list, it seems to me that most of the entries are for ethernet controllers, but...

windows 8.1 updates involutarily
I decided to look at my uninstalled windows updates yesterday to see if any of them were worth installing. I found one whose information told me that no further Windows security updates could be installed unless KB2919355 were installed first. I then went back and forth from my list of installed and...

I know it's a pain in the ass but i would test each module on it's own to see if it's just one module that has it. Then obviously just change the one with the bug and reduce the chances of them sending you another set with it , cause at least you know you already have a good one that can be used wh...

The bug is caused by the capacitors between the memory cells leaking. Apparently the only way to reduce it is to change one of the refresh values of the ram but it just means it would take more passes of hammering before they started to leak again. Ok on a desktop but it will use more power on a la...

You don't need to run single core or run more passes as it's already showing the hammer bug. You need to either contact support of the place you bought the ram or directly to the Manufacture. From reading about it seems hit or miss how they will treat you. You'll either be offered a replacement , d...

any way to trim a sulusave 2fs file?
My old lupusave file, now transformed into a sulusave 2fs is at 2.2GB with only a few hundred MB of "free space". I have no idea what could be taking up this space. My guess is that it's copies of Seamonkey and other apps that petget failed to uninstall over the years despite reporting tha...

.... My time is too precious to waste it trying to avoid people like you. promises, promises... I'll ignore the abusive name-calling and cut to the chase. It seems I've been spoiled by many years of Puppy use to expect it to have have available in the liveCD/DVD all the instructions needed to insta...

That's the correct ISO. You can run test #13 on it's own from test options , just remove the * star next to all the other tests. They recommend 4 passes 16gb of ram will take 30 mins to 1 hour depending if it runs in single CPU or parallel cores , Not sure what haswell would default to but it can b...
