RAM frequency = igher CPU Temps?!?!?!

[NickElDubs]

Hi, so today, when twidling around in the bios, it said my RAM was only running at 1333mhz, but I have 2400mhz ram. So, I changed the multiplier to 2400mhz so it runs at 2400mhz. Now I boot up my pc and in cpuid it shows 1199mhz, which multiplied by two is 2400mhz. Great. But then I run prime95 stress test and HOLY BALLS my CPU is running at 100C. So i go back into my bios and revert my changes back to 1333mhz, and now my cpu is running at 75C at full load. WTF. SOmebody help me please!

I don't even.....you sure the heatsink is not loose?

Higher frequency means the CPU runs faster to transfer data but it shouldn't be that high, so maybe a dodgy cooler?

I am running an h80i and it is mounted well

Plus this happens when I change the RAM's frequency, NOT the Cpu's.

Have you tried remounting it?

Its on there tight

I know it is on there right, but how could changing my RAM frequency affect the temps of my cpu?

did you correctly apply thermal paste?

The only way your RAM frequency would be affecting your CPU temps should be if your CPU is getting overclocked, too.

How can you change your multiplier to 2400Mhz? I don't think that's possible...

RAM Is a temporary primary storage device, the CPU uses it to grab data and to input data for guess what, temporary storage, when the ram runs faster the CPU has to move around data a lot faster, meaning the CPU has to do more work, and therefore getting hotter, but considering the temp your cpu is getting up too, I think your cooler needs remounting.

The cpu didn't go up in frequency so IDK

it shouldn't......make sure nothing gets fucked up in your bios settings when you change the a high frequency? Maybe? Like an OC for some reason?

I don't know. Let me go and see in the bios

that should pretty much be within the margin of error I would think

The memory controller is on the cpu so a couple degrees would be normal but 25°C, something is wrong.

[NickElDubs]

Here is my cpu setting

Here is the ram setting, I changed the multiplier to 24

Bump

I changed the xmp settings to profile 1 and nothing really seemed to change

Bump Bump Bump Bump

I went in the bios and changed it to xmp, Temps are a tiny bit better but like 98c, which is still trash
