First, here is my set-up.
Case: Phanteks Evolv mATX
Mobo: Asus ROG STRIX Z-370G (with current BIOS update)
CPU: Intel i7 8700K
GPU: Nvidia RTX 2080 Founders Edition
Memory: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 2x8GB 3000Mhz C15
CPU Cooler: Corsair H60 (120mm fan)
PSU: Corsair TX650M 80+ Gold Certified
Boot Drive: Samsung 970 EVO 250GB NVMe M.2
Fans:
Intake: 2x140mm Phanteks (came with the case)
Exhaust: 1x140mm Corsair ML140 Premium Magnetic Levitation
So, here is my issue. When I overclock the CPU at 4.8Ghz with 1.30V and stress test, things are stable. When I overclock the memory using the XMP profile, 15-17-17-35 at 1.35V, things are stable. However, when I apply both of these and run a blend test in Prime95 after the first few passes, like 20 minutes in, the temps get into the mid 80s up to the 90s.
What can I do to get my temps lower? Should I lower the RAM speed? If I lower the RAM speed from 3000Mhz to something lower, how do I know what timings and voltage should be used?
Could it be that my CPU overclock is limiting how fast the RAM can be overclocked?
Any help would be appreciated on this.
