project-sunshine VS stressapptest

If I became a HOP delegate, this would be my first time doing any type of delegated governance work. So I can understand some hesitation in delegating to a new coming. However, between the general knowledge throughout my history in the space and my involvement in other projects I think I can do a good job at it. Some examples where I've been part of projects to better the Ethereum ecosystem include content creation for Support1559.org (no longer functional, so here is the GitHub referencing that as part of a bigger EIP1559 signaling project), ethsunshine.com (commits), and ethmerge.com (joint commit). I also took a stab an aggregating commitments to 22% staking caps (GitHub Page), as well as am one of the multisig members of the EVMavericks project. Those have all had varying degrees of success, but they have been steps in my goal of being more than a passive investor. As noted above, I think trying out the delegate space is sort of a new mountain to conquer, hence my hemming and hawing about it broadly.

That's super old and not very useful anymore. Use Google's stressapptest Might also be worth booting Windows for TM5 or HCI Memtest.

I've personally used stressapptest a lot ( https://github.com/stressapptest/stressapptest ), it's not perfect but it's easy to use from a linux CLI. If that can run for a whole day without spitting out errors then it's probably not the RAM

You're running linux? You should try GSAT for validating memory OC stability and stress testing.

For what it's worth, this was one of the semi-popular "new" memory testing tools doing the rounds back when Ryzen was new: https://github.com/stressapptest/stressapptest

You need to run some memory stress test to verify that, like google's stressapptest (runs in Linux only)

It's not guaranteed that 2 kits will work together, but given the total dearth of 4-DIMM kits on the market, that's probably what you'll have to do. Give it a good overnight burn-in test with prime95 large FFTs, and maybe Google stressapptest, especially if you enable XMP.

If trying to repair the windows install does shit the bed, one debug step you could try would be making a bootable linux usb to see whether that exhibits the same crash behavior. It could pull a bit of double-duty if you run a memory-focused stress tester like: https://github.com/stressapptest/stressapptest to see if it throws up any errors. If you go with a semi-recent Ubuntu release, that one is already in the official software repositories and thus easy to install.

Prime95, Intel Linpack or Linpack Xtreme, y-cruncher, GSAT, Blender 3D rendering, Linux kernel compilation works very well too.

I'd recommend the (former) Google stressapptest: https://github.com/stressapptest/stressapptest
