ncix.com The stability test is done, and it passed with flying colours! Very impressive!
The video documents Linus Tech Tips testing Patriot 48 GB of DDR3 memory in a high-end workstation built around an X58 platform. The host details the hardware stack, including six 8 GB Patriot Gamer Series DIMMs running at 1333 MHz on a Gigabyte G1 Assassin motherboard with an Intel 990X Extreme Edition CPU, paired with dual GTX 590 GPUs. The test setup aims to push memory usage to its limits by running 48 GB with 12 threads in a custom Prime95 workload, effectively saturating the system's RAM. Over the course of the session, the host demonstrates that the system remains stable, showing a Task Manager readout of 100% CPU utilization and 48 GB of memory in use during the burn, and then concludes after the system has run for 95 hours and 3 minutes. The final takeaway is that the Patriot RAM modules achieve weekend-long stability on the older platform using the stock BIOS, highlighting compatibility and performance headroom. The video closes with thanks to Patriot for providing the memory and to Gigabyte for BIOS optimization, underscoring the collaborative effort behind the stability result and inviting viewers to subscribe for more hardware content.
