Sure enough, that gets me a boatload of RAM error reports on my server.
On my desktop without ECC it does not. I think no noise = good, however,
I have rasdaemon installed on the server, I think it may take a
combination of that + ECC to make the RAM errors log. It's been a while
since I set this up. I think I had to change a setting in the Dell bios
to prevent its log from eating the error instead of handing it to the os.
I was simply reading sudo dmesg.
If I'm correct, memtest86 is nearly useless on ECC RAM.
MemTest86 v11.7 Free Edition claims to support ECC:

AFAICT memtest86+ does not support ECC. Some people suggest disabling
ECC in BIOS/UEFI Setup and then testing with memtest86+.
