High-temperature RAM at 200°C! Stops overheating with Skill Trident Z Royal DDR4 3600mHz CL16 32GB (4x8GB).
High-temperature RAM at 200°C! Stops overheating with Skill Trident Z Royal DDR4 3600mHz CL16 32GB (4x8GB).
You noticed the GSKILL RAM getting hot. Unless HWmonitor is giving false info? I’m not sure. My experience was with a computer that would crash unexpectedly—like when idle on the desktop without any apps running—and then it would freeze or show a blue screen. The error message was "clock_watchdog_timeout." The temperatures shown on the monitor aren’t accurate; HWmonitor is providing real data. I considered replacing the thermal pads with new ones, but I’m unsure about disassembling the heatsink. I found some videos showing how to take it apart, but they seemed risky. If anyone has advice other than buying new RAM, please share your thoughts! TIA.
HwMonitor often misinterprets information. RAM wouldn't last even a second at 240°C—it would fail instantly. On my i7-9700, the CPU package draws about 500kW in the maximum setting, which is completely unrealistic.
These instructions are confusing. It seems DDR4 might struggle to handle such high temperatures, and even if it did, it would likely fail prematurely. Consider using Hwinfo64 instead.
Buggy sensor outputs, about a week now, HWMonitor displays 150°C for the CPU during gameplay. Probably an Overheat Quickhack from the title.
Use hwinfo64 as suggested by @WereCat for accurate sensor details. Launch the program with sensor selection enabled only.
At 240° it could damage the entire RAM and likely your computer, though I’m not sure how intense it gets.
It might be the right moment to upgrade the RAM or install fresh thermal pads.
It might be a faulty sensor in the RAM. Running without cooling won’t help it handle the heat. Have you checked any RAM tests recently?
