I use memtest86+ since years to evaluate memory throughput, allowing me to be sure everything is ok before putting a server in action.
With one motherboard I can't have this information:
The throughput should be just under L3 Cache throughput. But this remain blank.
I used memtest86+ v4.20
I then downloaded v5.01 Also tested with F1 (safe mode) and F2 (multicore)
I also tested memtest86 (without the '+')
motherboard : Supermicro H8DG6-F
CPU : 2 x AMD 6272 (2 x 16 cores)
memory : 2 x 8 = 16 Gib ECC memory PC3-12800 (but I will install 8 x 8 = 64 Gib)
I reported the problem in the official forum, but no answer. So I'd like to use another tool.
Anyone knows a tool to evaluate memory throughput?
No operating system is currently installed.

As i understand your statements, this really shouldn't vary. DDR3 "throughput" should be a constant based on your SPD configuration. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR3_SDRAM#DDR3_Serial_Presence_Detect Otherwise please define "Throughput" as you are using it.

Have you tried swapping the motherboard or the memory module? – redbeam_ – 2015-04-30T20:12:45.193
Other software would rely on the same outputs from the hardware as memtest86. You should let SuperMicro deal with this if the board is covered under warranty. If not, I'd start by flashing the BIOS (see their warnings,) testing again with the most current version, then rolling it back to an older version. Be sure you're using compatible memory, and that the modules installed are in the correct locations for the number of modules used. Beyond that, return it if possible, or toss it if you can verify that other boards of the same model do not exhibit the same behavior. – Alex Atkinson – 2015-05-04T18:00:37.217
