How Hot Is Too Hot..?

Hello everyone,

I've just got myself a 1080 so I've finally been able to run 3DMark Stress Tests on my PC. Before I got the 1080 I was using the iGPU in my 6700K so could only realistically run the Sky Diving one lol.

My clocks, voltage and temperature are as follows when running the Fire Strike Ultra Stress Test for 20 repetitions:

i7 6700K at 4.6GHz with 1.325V, Min Temp (Package) 35C, Max Temp 75C
HyperX Fury Black DDR4 2133 at 2600MHz with 1.3V, Min Temp 31C, Max Temp 41C
Palit GTX 1080 at stock speed, Min Temp 31C, Max Temp 73C

The CPU temperature and the GPU temperature are fine under load but is that max temperature for the RAM too hot..? I'm using HWMonitor to record the temperatures.

This is my first time overclocking so I really don't want to damage my components!

All your temperatures are absolutely fine.

Okay, cool, thanks very much for the reassurance.

41C was beginning to worry me but I guess that's the RAM going like the clappers during a Stress Test so I thought I might be worrying about nothing. Ta!

RAM chips are usually rated for around an 85C limit. Obviously you don't want to be getting near that, but you're way off that so don't worry about it!
