People say you do not have to worry about ram temperatures, but never explain exactly why that is exactly?
My Patriot DDR4 ram failed after 8 months; the memory had an occasional error now and then. The temperature never deviated a lot from 40C and that was with tin heat sinks.
I purchased Corsair Dominator Platinum CMD16GX4M2B3000C15. They have heavy duty heat sinks and are recommended for the Maximus VIII Ranger motherboard. I have no problems with the motherboard except the bios go bonkers with bad ram installed. But at least it ran Memtest64+.
The 1st set (2x16G) ran at 40C (module 1) and 99C (module 2). I guess 99C is probably bad?
I took it back to the store for an exchange?
The latest set is running at 77C (module 1) and 60C (module 2). The store says these temperatures are excellent.
I am running the Ram at 2133 Mhz right now. I ran memTest64+ for two passes at 3000 Mhz and it passed.
Should I take it back to the store or would buying an air cooler for the top of the DDR4 actually do anything. Some people take the metal handle off the top, which covers the heat fingers and mount air coolers over the top.
One kid pulled his ram apart, used artic silver and some kind of paper, but never gave any details about why and what the benefit was, only how he did it. The adhesive paper Corsair uses looks like an insulator to me.
Four sticks have had four different temperatures, 40C, 99C, 77C and 60C. Sounds like a manufacturing issue?
