I recently upgraded my RAM to 16GB. Su8bsiquently, I receive frequent processor Temp warnings. They advise processor temp is 72c. This is on an Asus P8Z68-V board. Should I be concerned and if so, what would be a recommended solution to this issue?

Hello tpb001739,
Thank you for contacting Intel Communities.
In this case, I would recommend checking the following:
- You have the latest BIOS.
- The max RAM speed is DDR3 @1333 MHz.
- The memory that you installed is compatible with the motherboard.
- https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8Z68V/HelpDesk_QVL/ Memory/Device Support - Asus
- Run the https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/19792/Intel-Processor-Diagnostic-Tool Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool to see if the processor passes the test.
You can also check the articles below for more information regarding overheating:
