I don't think this will fix the problem of the memory temps rising.  The reason i say this is because your gpu temps are fine.  You'll still run into the thermal temps on the memory rising over time as the thermal pads on the memory degrade over time.  just make sure you have good thermal pads when you replace them next.

try the thermal pads that came with your blocks... if values are bad for memory, try and find better thermal pads.
you can always source thermal pads from digikey and such.

I use Thermalright Odyssey 12.8 w/mk pads in all of my cards. You're right about them degrading, it's been half a year since I installed them and having looked at them today they'd be needed to change again in a month or two. Not crumble yet but start to dry up. Right after installation I was enjoying 86-88C mem junction temperatures though.

half a year is pretty good... definitely better than stock.   i use the thermalright pads also.. they're better than the "blue" ones all over amazon.  those didn't last long at all.  the blue ones only lasted about a month.  Sad
