Your RAM is overheating?
Your RAM is overheating?
I just finished assembling my first personal PC. I adjusted the fan curves and everything looks good except for my RAM. While playing in Modern Warfare, Rivatuner and Afterburner showed my RAM usually stays around 72-73°C during gameplay. I’m a bit confused because I have two intake fans, two exhausts, a master Hyper 212 RGB cooler with two fans. Do I really need extra ventilation? Is this something I shouldn’t be concerned about? My voltage is set to auto at 1.372V and XMP is enabled. I’m also using T-Force Delta RGB RAM at 3200MHz.
RGB RAM produces slightly more warmth, yet as mentioned by @scuff gang, verify the voltages carefully. If you're applying XMP or doing manual overclocking, turn it off and recheck temperatures.
After thorough investigation, I discovered that the "memory temperature" setting in MSI Afterburner applies to video memory on the graphics card. This explains why the temperatures for RAM and GPU are synchronized. Thank you all for your assistance! Stay safe.
