Does The X870E Hero include memtest86 in the BIOS?

If so, where is it located? I can't seem to find it anywhere on the X870E Hero.

On my other rig (which uses Z790 Dark Hero) I can find memtest86 just fine in the Tools section of the BIOS.

Hi @RavenMaster 

I don't believe this feature is available on that platform. If it is, it would be in the tools menu. Use the search function to confirm.

Memtest86+ is really only a baseline indicator for either faulty DIMMs or to check stability isn't conditional enough that it could break the OS.

Use Karhu Ramtest or HCI Memtest Pro.

Thanks for the confirmation. No wonder I couldn't see it on that board. Shame they left it out this time. It was a handy tool to have built in.
