memtest86+ has an uncached test:

const struct tseq tseq[] = {
{1, 5, 3, 0, 0, "[Address test, walking ones] "},
{1, 6, 3, 2, 0, "[Address test, own address] "},
{1, 0, 3, 14, 0, "[Moving inversions, ones & zeros] "},
{1, 1, 2, 80, 0, "[Moving inversions, 8 bit pattern] "},
{1, 10, 60, 300, 0, "[Moving inversions, random pattern] "},
{1, 7, 64, 66, 0, "[Block move, 64 moves] "},
{1, 2, 2, 320, 0, "[Moving inversions, 32 bit pattern] "},
{1, 9, 40, 120, 0, "[Random number sequence] "},
{1, 3, 4, 240, 0, "[Modulo 20, ones & zeros] "},
{1, 8, 1, 2, 0, "[Bit fade test, 90 min, 2 patterns] "},
{0, 4, 3, 2, 0, "[[Moving inversions, 0 & 1, uncached] "},
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, NULL}
};

find that "Moving inversions, 0 & 1" test and run that one alone,
overnight.
