I've got an extra 2x 16gb ddr4. I upgraded my motherboard last year and went ahead and bought 64gh ddr5 ram (I'm so happy I did before all this ). But the ddr4 32gb is still good. I was thinking of selling it but figured it wouldn't be worth the hassle. Now I'm thinking maybe I can get back what I paid for it.

And it would still be a good deal for someone else.

How can I make sure it's in 100% perfect working condition. ?

I don't want to sell someone something that's going bad.

Was working fine before, as far as I remember.

I literally threw 32gb of ddr3 ram in trash half a year ago thinking it's not even worth re-selling them

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

Wow. If I had 32 GB of DDR2 I would probably sell it. If it was in like 2 GB aticks I get it but 8 or 16GB ones would have sold well I believe.

Memtest is what you're after. You need to boot into it from a USB key because you can't reliably test ram on a running OS.

There's a commercial version that has a free offering or this open source one which I've found excellent.

I'd encourage you to sell it. In these trying times, any extra supply is helpful.

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is super helpful, thank you. I'm going to do that and then I can screen shot the report and let people know I tested it and what it said.

Someone told me I could just put one of the 16gb at a time, in my current motherboard. Start up the PC. If it's good it will start , if not then it won't. But I wasn't sure if that would really be an indicator of condition or not. I mean if completely junk it would. But otherwise not really.

Yeah I was just going to sit on it.

  1. I worried I would accidentally sell something not in great shape to someone. (But now you have given me a solution to that) And 2. Would anyone even want used ram? (Apparently yes).

I'm convinced now.

Best to get it to someone who needs it for gaming or software needs.

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

Fair play to you. It's definitely helpful to be selling 32GB that would otherwise just be sitting there. Treat yourself to something nice with the money! :)

I recently got a hand-me-down from my bestie of 4x4GB of DDR4 (along with a 3060ti woop woop!) and I'm really happy with it so yeah, folks definitely still want it.

If you have any trouble with memtest feel free to hit me up. I'm happy to help.

[–] autriyo@feddit.org 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It kinda does take a lot of time to properly test ram, especially larger capacities. So OP would need to plan accordingly, because the pc won't be usable during the test.

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Ah thank you for that info. I will run it overnight then.

[–] Tetsuo@jlai.lu 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I think you can do a memtest with Windows included tool that doesn't require to install anything. Type memory check or something in the Start menu and the system should require a restart to boot on the memtest.

But obviously setting up a dedicated thumb drive can be useful too.

[–] WereCat@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

That test is a little bit better than worthless

[–] THE_GR8_MIKE@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

If I had done 64 instead of 32, I'd seriously be considering selling 32GB to upgrade my GPU right now.

[–] WereCat@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

i’ve got my 4x16GB DDR4 during another RAM crisis in 2019 for just 360€ which was a great deal during that time… normally I would pay well over 400€
