How we test

"Tested" is a process,
not a sticker.

Memory is a category where buyers have learned to expect mislabelled and resold parts. Our answer is not a badge — it is that every module passes the same bench, one by one, before it is allowed to ship. This page describes that process exactly, including its limits.

Year warranty behind it

Before a kit may ship.

InspectionThe kit is checked physically: contact edge clean and unmarked, PCB straight, heat spreader seated, both modules of a pair from matching stock, and the module matches what the order says it is. Anything that fails the eye does not reach the bench.
Live bench bootThe modules are installed in a real desktop platform of the correct generation — not read out with a sticker scanner. The system must POST, report the full advertised capacity, and run at a stable speed. A module that negotiates the wrong size or falls over at boot fails here.
Full memory-test passThe kit then runs an industry-standard memory test across its entire address space — the class of tool used for this everywhere, such as MemTest86. A single error is a fail; there is no "minor error" category in memory testing.
VerdictPass: the kit is packed and matched to the order it will fulfil. Fail: the module is quarantined and never re-enters sellable stock — what arrives at your door is a kit that passed, not one that was merely boxed.

Confirm for publication: the exact test software and version in use, the number of full passes run per kit, and the disposal route for failed modules (supplier return vs. scrap). The page intentionally names the process, not unverified specifics.

The honest part

What testing cannot promise.

A bench pass proves the silicon works. It cannot reproduce every board, BIOS version and profile combination in the field — no test process anywhere can. Two things follow from that.

Compatibility stays yours to check

A perfect module in the wrong platform is still the wrong platform. Use the checker before ordering — or send us your board model and we confirm it.

The warranty does the rest

If a kit that passed our bench misbehaves in your machine, that is our problem, not yours: two-year warranty, faulty-arrival returns at our cost, repair, replace or refund. The terms.

Dead on arrival, handled fast

If a kit arrives faulty: try the reseat-and-one-stick check first (it resolves most "dead" memory), then contact us with your order reference. Confirmed faults ship back at our cost.

Why we work this way.

A marketplace listing forwards a box. We are a small operation by design: the same hands that source a kit test it, pack it, and answer for it under the warranty. Nothing about that is glamorous — it is simply the only honest way to sell memory at our size, and it is why every module here goes over the bench instead of into a sampling statistic.
