Recently i had some pc troubles that seem to have resulted from a stick of ram going dead on me, because removing one of the sticks seems to have stoped all problems. Only now, i notice my temps are hotter. Previously my idle case temp was around 29, with it going up to 32-33 under load. Now my pc is running 32 idle. Could this have been caused by the ram? I was using 4gb of pc6400 reaper x, that i bumped up to 2.1v so it would boot (default voltage on maximus formula was too low), i might have been able to run it at a bit less, but the lifetime warrenty covers 2.1 so thats what i ran at.
Now that i have removed 1 stick of ram, could that 2.1v be going purely into 1 stick now instead of 2, causing the increased temps due to all that power going into a single stick? or doesnt it work that way?
If that 2.1v is going into the single remaining module instead of 2, does that mean that the mem was only designed to run at 2.1v as a pair, and if used as a single module should be run at a lot less?
Theres nothing else i can think of that would cause a 3 degree increase in idle temp.
