Default Max Safe Memory Temp 4850x2?

So what would be the maximum safe memory temperature for a 4850x2? I'm watercooling the gpus right now, but it looks like i'm going to need to put some ramsinks on the ram, because the stock ramsinks aren't cutting it.

Above 90C is dangerous for a 4890, this is what the XFX rep told me when I asked. I'm assuming it should be similar with the 4850.

Yeah, I mean the ram is getting to like 65C with the stock ramsinks on them and probably no airflow on them.

65C is fine.

Okay, I think they're getting higher than that, but that's what GPU-Z was saying. When I touched them after playing crysis, I literally burned my finger.
