[QUOTE="iggibar, post: 1935268, member: 97843"] Looking at RAM temps without taking a reading of nearby temps is useless. Ram temps on a Mac Pro 2.1-5.1 are heavily affected by nearby components(like cpu for example). Also, the more ram you have, the higher the chance of one failing. Just statistics. Ram sticks fail all the time. They are consumable components that will degrade over time. Just replace it. There's no reason to get OCW ram...any ECC server ram will work, just make sure you have the proper rated speed for best performance. Don't think too much about it. [/QUOTE]
