Weird DIMM/RAM temperatures

[matiasmir]

Hi everyone, I'm having this weird issue on which my ram temperatures are above all the other components on my laptop, My cpu is undervolted and I have deactivated turboboost in order to reduce CPU temperatures since I'm playing in a laptop and the cpu was getting above 90c but I can't find any way to undervolt/underclock my ram and after doing a research on google I wasn't able to find people with the same problem as me and I've read that the max temperature that ram can handle is 85c and I'm worried about my sistem. Do you know why is this happening? is there a way to underclock/undervolt ram? is it safe to play with those temperatures?

specs:

Dell Inspiron 7577

CPU: I5-7300HQ

GPU: GTX 1060MAXQ 6GB

RAM: 2X4GB 2400MHZ

 

Thank you in advance!

You can try disabling the XMP profile in BIOS and have it run at 2133 MHz to see if that runs any cooler.  I'm not familiar with RAM temperatures and what is safe though.

In Corsair's DDR4 white paper they mention SODIMM temperatures only to say they might be monitored and RAM timings could be manipulated to help control temps.  Dell might be doing that in your laptop, but I have no idea.  With high temps you could begin to see errors, however, that is not guaranteed.  I have to imagine the RAM kits they install in laptops are set to their most stable speed and timings so as to allow for heat.  Do remember that SODIMMS are usually laid flat against the motherboard and if there are multiple sticks they are usually one laying on the other.   With that I would hope the manufacturer would account for the heat.

 

With that said -- what are the temps when you're not running a bunch of stress tests simultaneously?  Perhaps stress the other components and not the RAM and see what its temperatures reach.  RAM stress tests will get the sticks much hotter than other workloads.

The Idle temp is almost identical to the cpu, it varies from 45c to 52c depending on how hot is outside, The temperatures posted on the graph above are while I'm playing a cpu intensive game (pubg, the witcher, bf1), now I'm going to open the laptop and check if the soddims are laying on top of each other.

The temps you posted were while running an Aida stress test?
