Comment on Imaging a Hard Drive with Non-ECC Memory – What Could Go Wrong?

Comments

Does increased heat increase the likelihood of memory errors? I think it does.

I just got through a round of overclocking my memory. Yes, heat does.

tRFC is the number of cycles for which the DRAM capacitors are "recharged" or refreshed. Because capacitor charge loss is proportional to temperature, RAM operating at higher temperatures may need substantially higher tRFC values.
