Why is my RAM so hot after switching to a new cooler?

Asked By CoolGamer99 On

I recently swapped my old AIO cooler for a Phantom Spirit 120, and now I've noticed that my RAM temperatures are hitting 65°C while gaming. Before the upgrade, it was around 35/40°C. I adjusted the fan placement, moving one to the middle and one to the back, which helped lower the RAM temp to 55°C. However, my R7 7700 is idling at 55°C now, and the noise from the fans is quite bothersome. Has anyone else experienced a similar issue?

Could you share a photo of your RAM's placement in relation to the CPU cooler? Sometimes, the cooler's placement can lead to higher temps if it's too close to the RAM slots.

Have you added case fans since you removed the AIO? Make sure you have proper airflow in your case; it can significantly affect your RAM temps. If you’ve only got exhaust fans, it might not be enough to keep everything cool.
