I’m trying to run out of RAM as fast as possible.

I got a new MacPro with 256GB of RAM, and I’m trying to load test my RAM.  The reason is that if it’s going to fail, I want it to happen when I’m not facing a deadline.

I already returned my first 256GB kit to OWC because something failed on Day 2.  BTW, great service from them.  They overnighted a replacement kit.

What’s a best way to do this?

Something like an 8K comp with noise applied to a solid?

I’ve tried a few things, but so far unable to get past having 123 GB or so free.  A few attemps, Ae just stopped RAM-previewing while I still had plenty of RAM to spare.

The GPU can be stressed by playing highly compressed H.264 codecs in Premiere.  The CPU can be stressed by running Render Garden.

I found a freeware app called XRG that graphs CPU, GPU, RAM, and other functions.  I also have iStat Menu installed.
