Do memory chips get as hot as VRMs?

[Filingo]

I just used MSI afterburner and messed with settings, and even if I increase memory clock to almost the max possible (+800Mhz out of 1000Mhz possible), it's stable.

But, the memory modules are covered with this black plastics unlike VRMs which are exposed. Can it melt it? Do they get as hot as the VRMs? (80+)

There's no heat sensors on them so I can't tell

The card is GTX 1060 6GB

 

Thanks

It will get unstable before it melts

Memory chips can get pretty hot (max is around the same as a CPU, 95-100C), but it's usually not an issue. There are thermal pads covering them for a reason.
