I just happened to be doing some things in my case and noticed that my memory was extremely hot to the touch, and after a new install of windows, I have recieved 3 BSODs in 2 hours. What would cause the memory to overheat. It is runny at it's stock voltages and speeds

Since you have a WC setup, do you have any case fans at all?

case fans my man, case fans.... get a lot of them..... they're your friend! My case mb temp seldom goes above 25°. I have one blowing on the ram and another blowing on the videocard..... everything is as cool as possible (unless of course I get extreme).

yes I have two 120mm case fans. It seems to have fixed itself with a total tear down and refill.
