An information handling system includes a processor that runs a maximum memory stress test of a memory module with a refresh rate of memory devices set to a first refresh rate. Then, the processor may receive a power consumption of the memory module. Also, the processor may receive the temperature of the memory devices, and may set the refresh rate to a second refresh rate. The processor may continuously receive both the power consumption of the memory module and the temperature of the memory devices. Based on the continuously received temperature, the processor may determine whether the temperature of the memory devices exceeds a second threshold temperature. If so, the processor may store a first setting as a refresh setting for the memory module. Otherwise, the processor may store a second setting as the refresh setting for the memory module.
