Memtest86+ 8.10, the latest version of a program designed for testing RAM, has been released. This program is independent of operating systems and can be initiated directly from the BIOS/UEFI firmware or the bootloader to perform a comprehensive RAM check. In case of any issues detected, the built-in map of bad memory areas in Memtest86+ can be utilized in the Linux kernel by using the memmap option. The project code is distributed under the GPLv2 license.
Main enhancements in this release include:
- Optional dark interface mode
- Support for new AMD and Intel CPU models
- Faster detection of multi-core CPUs
- Addition of DDR5 memory temperature sensor information
- Resolution of issues with checking overclocked DDR5 XMP 3.0 memory
- Improvement in BadRAM template support to exclude defective memory areas
- Enhanced SPD detection on older ICH chips
- Improved support for VTxxx console and Loongson architecture
- Support for building with CLang compiler and LLD linker
- Creation of a single executable file for UEFI and legacy methods downloads
