Unless the VRM temps are pushing 80° C. they shouldn't be a problem. The actual devices are rated to 125° C. What has come to light lately on the Ryzen /TR forums is that having the memory running at north of 40° C. is likely to cause instability. Solution seems to be putting a fan on the RAM or improving the case air flow in that area.

Cases with door mounted fans have gone out of fashion, thats what I used to like about my old coolermaster case.

I will get a fan and blow air direct into case and see if it runs stable like that.

I figured out the instability on my X99 workstation garbage retrieval project by setting up a pedestal floor fan blowing on the motherboard to prove the problem was temperature related. Added a fan to blow over the VRM and PCH heatsinks and solved the problem.
