Question New G.skill Royal ddr5 temps

[instawookie]

Just lookin for some feedback for my current upgraded kit, at what point is memory considered too toasty? I noticed my new Royal runs about 8-10C hotter during gaming compared to my previous trident kit, I'm guessing that's due to additional voltage on the profile. New kit sits around 54-55C , old kit during gaming was around 45-47C. I'm still kind of tinkering with the kit, looking for stability in some games as I knew I was testing the waters of my MB capability (Z690 Aorus Ultra w/ a 14700k) rated up to 6200mhz OC mode. It runs timespy benchmarks just fine @ 6400 but during world of warships gameplay had to turn it down to 6200 to prevent crashing and its been fine since. I've still only got like 2 hours of play time and haven't tried disabling High memory bandwidth and Low Latency as enabling those on the previous kit was ok. I know this kit was a waste for performance but I've been wanting this memory to match the cosmetics of my build when I saw it at computex. Aside from the minor temps increase, my only other pet peeve for its value was the crystal like strips are pretty loose, other than that they look gorgeous.

Old kit.

• DDR5 6000 (PC5 48000)
• Timing 32-38-38-96
• CAS Latency 32
• Voltage 1.35V

It could be because the 1.40V is higher than Intel's recommended max of 1.35V.
It might degrade RAM but if the manufacturer (G.Skill in this case) is confident their kits will not be RMAd, then i guess it's no problem for the kit itself.

Stability issues are probably because the motherboard does not support 6400 MT/s.
Have you checked if any BIOS updates adress this?

No current bios updates to surpass 6200 as far as I know, I'm currently on f28. I also didn't know about 1.35v being the intel limit lol. I could maybe try to reduce it or find a preloaded profile from the xmp booster.

It's not a limit, it's a recommendation. But manufacturers exceed it regularly, and they also test RAM extensively so they believe it's fine.

Rip meeeee, Still battling some instability. I went in and manually set my timings instead of using the XMP profile, I copied the standard timings, and changed the voltages from 1.4 to 1.35 for the VDDQ and VDD AO. Next I may have to reduce to 6000mhz or disable High mem bandwidth booster and Low Latency next, I'm not quite sure. Any feedback or ideas would be great if I continue to have issues, really trying to avoid a MB purchase lol.

Those results are pretty good for the motherboard. We could not validate near that.

The Trident would run at 6200 no issues, Dimm temps would stay at 46/47C.

New DDR5 Royal did better last night, I would still like to bump it back to 6200 though, and figure out how to get the Dimm temps back in the 40's. Last night playing it sat around 53/54C but never did crash on the positive side, using 1.35V's and Standard royal timing. I disabled HMBW and the Low Latency tweaks briefly but didn't like losing benchmark points.

I'm curious for these new intel bios updates rumored for stability issues, if it is going to create more problems or resolve them.

Thinking about returning the kit, I've got it stable at 6000mhz which is fine. I do have concerns about temps though, SPD Dimm temps hitting 60C playing forza motorsports. I'm wondering if I got a defective kit, due to me getting an inconsistent D-Ram light on the MB. I'm baffled by the light though, machine acts like it runs fine even if it is on, frequency still shows 6000mhz and module size shows 55.7gb or so available. If I reboot the machine the light goes away, it only occurs after full shutdown so far and reboot. I've recently reseated the memory just in case I moved it the wrong way when I put the cooler on it, which may have resolved it beings it didn't do it again today only so far for testing. The cooler i added did almost next to nothing, dropped temps maybe 2-3C if anything it dropped my CPU temps more on benchmarks lol. Am I sweating temps over nothing if I have stability?

Only other thing I've seen is another youtuber only hitting 51C with the same kit and that's where I rather be. I'm just not trying to miss my return window if it is faulty or did, I contribute to the DRAM light fault using 1.35v instead of 1.4v to lower temps?
