Realbench only reading 1599.3 ram

[TickleMyElmo]

I'm trying to do a realbench stress test. I have 16gb of g. skill ram installed but when I try to run realbench using up to 16gb of ram it says not enough available memory. Install more ram, increase size of pagefile, or select a smaller ram preset. Why is it doing this and how can I fix it? Here is a pic of the realbench settings.

RealBench is just that way. Select less ram than you have.

The 1599.3 is a unit of MHz and thus the speed rating of your RAM. If you read further down that same line it does say 16 GB.

If I had to guess, this program is using some of the RAM that you want to test and therefore can not stress 100% of the RAM. Since you have 16 GB, the program is using some portion thus making the available RAM something less. Although, I say that and the wording is "up to...". Definitely a glitch in the program that is not readily explained by the developers.

simply ~1600MHz = DDR4-3200 so your RAM speed
up to 16GB = it will use ~16GB but your OS and other soft is already using ~3GB, maybe more so have to pick lower value for stress test like ~12GB ( run task manager and check how much RAM is in use )

There are other processes using some RAM besides Realbench. Realbench can only utilize what's left after that. Select 8 gb instead.
