I'm using memtest86+ v1.20 to test my memory.
I was getting errors in test #5 and #8 but I think I've fixed that by relaxing the memory timings.
So far I've run memtest for about 32 hours on just test #5 and I'll run it for about the same on just test #8.

So how long do I need to run memtest without errors before I can be very sure my memory is rock stable?

Rule of thumb seems to be 24 hrs max. I rarely have the patience to go beyond overnight (8-12 hrs).
