This should be kind of obvious, but not sure how many of you have noticed this when overclocking your i7 chips.

The difference in prime95 load temps when running my RAM at DDR3-1540 is about 10c cooler that when running it at DDR3-1900.

It got me thinking that when posting overclocking results and temps for the i5/i7 platform that it is necessary to post the RAM speed in order to get a more accurate idea of what temps you should expect.
 
It makes sense, but I never noticed that it was that significant because I've always been running my ram at 2000MHz. I bet thats why I'm having trouble keeping my temps down @ 4GHz lol...
