I was running a 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) on my PC.
Recently I purchased another 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) that I'm gonna use on another PC that I'm building, so I decided to add the extra 8GB to my system just so I could the difference in performance... But soon as I added the CPU temperature increased from 36C to 43C...

I removed the extra 8GB Ram but my system still running at high temperature of 43C

Any suggestion on what to do?
I'm pretty sure I haven't touched anything on the motherboard.

My Current Memory:
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-2133C10D-16GXM

New Memory Added:
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-2133C10D-8GXM

Tradesman1 is pointing you in the right direction.

If you don't feeling like hunting though, set everything to default in your bios. Save and re-boot so the setting can take. After, check your temps and see if you are good.

Good luck!

I set to default and rebooted. Temperature came down to 36C again.
Don't really know what happen but it seems normal now.

Thank you Emanuel & Tradesman1
