anyone want to buy a 2x16 GB DDR4-3200 kit that only fails memtest86 some of the time?

I wonder if semi-reliable RAM could be made to work for training. After all gradient descent already works in a stochastic environment, so maybe the noise from a few flipped bits doesn't matter too much.

Also, depends on the nature of the error. If only a small memory range is affected, you could patch the kernel to avoid it.

Sorry but I am looking for reliability. Do you have any stick that fails 100% of the time?

Have you tried underclocking or loosening the timings?

my experience is if even memtest86 fails the memory is truly borked.
