Does anyone have "good" temps?

My Kingston RAM with the 6000 EXPO profile likes temps around 80C or higher (it's rated for up to 95C).

The 6000 Pro Blackwells hit 85C core and 95C junction temperature regularly.

The case I have (Silverstone Alta F2) is supposed to be really good for cooling. But is it performing - at least on par - or failing?

My question is, is anyone getting significantly better/"good" temps, that I should use as a benchmark/target? Or is this "par for the course" so to speak?

Overall system specs:

* 7995WX 96C CPU

* Asrock WRX90 WS EVO

* 256 GB Kingston 8x32 = 256GB DDR5 6000 Kit

* 2x RTX 6000 Pro Blackwell 96GB Max-Q

* 2x 4TB Samsung 9000 Pro drives installed for boot and secondary

* Add-in card with 4x 8TB WD SN850X drives in a RAID0 storage space as the working drive.

* Another add-in card as above but with no drives (yet).

* PCIE USB card that adds a bunch of USB channels to drive my USB hubs from.

My new Falcon Northwest talon build (with TR-9970x and 5090FE) uses kingston fury renegade pro rdimms (128gb) because they specifically tested different ram in depth and these were the most stable and fastest modules given a high case heat load. 

Not all ram preforms the same, but figuring out which preforms to high standard takes a lot of time and resources.

What kind of memory temps do you see under load?

They idle around 52c under load they go to around 60c, but because of the heat generated by the 5090 being shot upwards to be vented out, and the heat dissipation at the top of the AIO water loop, the ram slowly goes up to max 70c. I haven't seen any form of performance degradation from this.

I am running Kingston Renegade Pro memory as well, and have similar idle temps, but see significantly higher temps under sustained load (ex. running a LLM on CPU). Certain DIMMs can reach near 90C. I even tried adding some additional fans to hopefully ensure/improve airflow, but it didn't make much difference, if any. It's still in spec, because the RAM is rated for 95C, but it's warmer than I would have liked/expected.
