Temp issues

Hi all.

So im using Ballistix Utility to alter colours on my ram, when i look at the current temps.

DIMM1 6.5C
DIMM2 36.62C
DIMM3 36.12C
DIMM4 38.25C

I cant help but wonder why Dimm 1 is so low, but the rest a fair bit hotter?

Any ideas??

Thanks

Is it close to the cooling of the CPU heatsink and fan?

Dimm1 is right next to the cpu cooler, but the other dimms dont have anything heat related near them...
I'm not having any issues with the pc, but thought it was kinda strange.

it's probably just the fact that DIMM1 gets some of the airflow from the CPU cooler, while the others are just at normal operating temp
