Is Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 6400 overheating in MGS Delta?

Every time I enter a complex base, my RAM frequency crashes from 6400MHz down to 4800MHz. It's honestly pathetic. The default cooling on the Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 6400 is too slow for sudden load spikes, and my chips were hitting 65–℃ in five seconds, triggering a hard thermal wall. I tried enabling 'High Performance' mode in Windows, but that just raised my idle temps by 5–℃—total rookie mistake. I ended up adding a dedicated RAM cooling fan and set a stepped fan curve that hits 80% speed at 50–℃. In AIDA64, my peak temps dropped from 68–℃ to a manageable 52-56–℃, and the downclocking stopped. I had some annoying case resonance because the fan wasn't mounted right at first, but adjusting the bracket pressure fixed the noise. Now the RAM sits at 48–54–℃. I backed up all my BIOS settings just in case, but it's finally running as intended.
