Question/Issue with CPU Cooling

Hello, I was wondering if it was weird if I didn't see much of a change in CPU temperature's when running my X60 with different fan speeds. Getting around 30-35 Celsius settings set at Extreme vs Silent with no games running. With games running around 38-42 Celsius with the same scenario. 

 

Is it normal for Ram giving off large amounts of heat when playing games?

ram heats up in all situation just depends on what your using it for, editing/gaming its going to be warm browsing it wont warm up that much

That seems reasonable, would you happen to know what the issue is with the cpu temp?  To me it doesn't seem normal as I would just keep it at the lowest speed. In reality however higher speed seems like it would lower temperature.

I was looking at temps from core temp, but if 30-35 with browsing & 38-42 with gaming is good then it seems fine.

often a higher fan speed in liquid coolers only shows much of a difference if you run a torture test and over clock your cpu. better cooling never was really beneficial unless you overclock. Also if you have the standard fans on the cooler, to be fair, they are not the best pressure fans. If the static pressure is too low and if the fan spins up the airflow through the radiator will not increase. But as long as you have those temps just leave the fans on quiet
