I have an Amd A-8 Black Richland APu. I started playing a more intense video game and the temp jumped a bit, I just adjusted my memory from 1600 to 1866, i read that faster memory improves graphics, if faster memory does more for the apu will it therefore help keep the temperature lower
?

If you had to increase voltages for the CPU or CPU/NB, then the temperatures would rise. Just increasing the RAM speed would improve performance, especially in APU's. And the Memory Controllers work harder, but the original Workload Temperature you had before-if you recorded it-shouldn't increase since no more power current was added. :)
