I have Corsair Vengeance DDR5 6000MHz 36 CL, with 32GB (2x16GB). While playing Arc Raiders and having a few Chrome tabs, Hwinfo64, Steam, and Discord open, I monitored my temperatures and got these readings:
**Min: 57.5°C** | **Max: 62.8°C** | **Avg: 60.6°C**
I've been told these temps are on the high side. Since this is my first experience with DDR5, I'd like some advice on whether these temps are typical and if there are ways to improve them. I've also shared my fan curve setup, with orange indicating exhaust and red showing intake for reference.

While they are slightly elevated, they're not alarmingly high. Just to clarify, are those minimum temps while gaming or when idling?
Those temps are a bit high for DDR5 but not completely out of line. If you can, try improving airflow, maybe with a fan directed at the RAM or by flipping your top fans to be intake instead of exhaust. Just make sure your overall case airflow is balanced!
Thanks for the tip! I’ll look into adjusting my fan setup.
Those temps are while gaming. When idling or doing light tasks, they drop to around 40°C - 45°C.
