Hello, there! I just overclocked my ram from 2400mhz to 2800mhz. I wanted to be sure if the ram was stable. So I ran several memtest64 test and got 0 errors every time. But I still wonder if my temperatures are safe? I didn't measure them, but should I be fine or not? And if I need to check the temps how do I check them. I don't think I have sensors on my ram.

RAM: Micron 16gb Single Channel DDR4

Greetings,

Job

Ram doesn't overheat, not unless you are trying for some rediculously high, over the top OC, like 5GHz or more on a 2133MHz kit, and have voltages to match. Ram doesn't even require the fancy painted advertisements called heatsinks for normal usage.

And no, no sensors on ram. You've got the IC chips and an eprom for the ram data, and thats about it.

I can't even think of any ram that actually does have thermal sensors lol, and not sure if there's any software like HWInfo that'd actually read it if they did. That's how much of a non-entity ram temps are.

Yeah I didn't do that. Thank you for relieving me! :)

FYI my Corsair Vengeance Pro does have temperature readings for each DIMM and is visible in both the Corsair iCue and HWMonitor so some do. Can’t say I use it as whenever I checked it they were low to mid 40’s.
 
Dominator fans, yes, back in DDR2 days and 1.8v or 1.65v DDR3, but even then those were more of a gimmick unless you were seriously punishing the ram with uber low timings, high speeds and mental voltages.

Guess I haven't paid much attention (well any attention really) to ram temp sensors since it is such a non issue for 99.99% of consumer ram users.
