[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1935199, member: 175845"] Those temperatures under load still seem to be well within spec and as Nick said in a previous post, has others on the internet have also mentioned, your iMac Pro 5,1 Ram did not and does not normally use heat sinks on the RAM modules: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.mac-forums.com/threads/heat-spreaders-cmp-5-1-yes-or-no.371567/[/URL] So why bother creating extra work or expense in the mess of thermal paste Etc that may actually hinder heat build-up if not applied properly. I would say you are good to go the way you are without any heat sinks or spreaders on your existing memory modules. And keep [B]Macs Fan Control[/B] fan speeds set properly as you seem to have done already. - Patrick ======= [/QUOTE]
