RAM: This is the normal temperature of the RAM

There are also certain normal temperatures for the RAM or working memory, which ensure that the component functions optimally. In this practical tip, we show you which these are and where the maximum manageable temperature zone is.

Main memory: The RAM bar can be operated in this temperature zone

• The temperature of the RAM is usually around 45 degrees.
• The RAM memory heats up to 70 degrees under load.
• It becomes problematic at temperatures above 80 to 90 degrees. These can also be endured for a short time, but in the long run they lead to system instabilities.
• The manufacturer Kingston, for example, specifies a maximum operating temperature of 85 degrees for its RAM.
• However, these extreme RAM temperatures mainly play a role in overclocking. If your RAM gets too warm, various active and passive RAM coolers are available.
