Ok recently ive been trying to get more outta my ram and wana test it.Ive seen that alot use memtest86 ..The other day I let it run for 9 hours with no errors ..Would that be good enough to say its stable?

If it runs for an hour, I would consider that to be stable.

I like to give it 2-3 hours to be sure, but I've heard of people running for up to 24 hours.

It's a pain in the ass.
I say 20loops is enough, Damn memtest meaning I can't use my comp!

I set it to do all tests and leave it to loop for 24 hours or so, that is about enough time for 3 or 4 loops.

I generally run it for 12 hours at least, but you should be okay with 9 hours.
