more concerned if i'd be pushing the vrms temps too hard

Unfortunately, I have no way of making sure my memory temps are lower than 80-90c, my card will only tell me the core temps.

Hi, I recently bought the NZXT G12 and have mounted it to my GTX 1080 Founders Edition. I have overclocked the core clock considerably to +240 while maintaining 49-50c but I am hesitant to overclock my memory as they are only being cooled by a 92m fan blowing directly onto them. It is safe for me to overclock these or am I best off leaving them alone? I am also wary that the radiator I am using to cool this (NZXT Kraken X42) is mounted on the front of my case in a push-pull configuration blowing warm air onto the card which may also contribute to higher than wanted memory temps. In videos by Gamers Nexus and JayzTwoCents they seem to think the cooling is just as good if not better but this was on an open test bench so I'm not sure what impact this has on the temps. Thanks for giving this a read, any feedback would be appreciated.Barnaby

Tbh a 140mm is more than enough. I put one on my 1080 and its temps went from 82c to 49c with a +240 core clock.
