Different RAM Total Power usage between DIMMs... normal?

Hi!

While trying to figure out what is causing some games, and sometimes my PC, to crash, I pulled up HWINFO 64. With it open, I see similar DRAM voltages for min, max, and average, but DRAM Total Power is quite different between the two DIMMs (e.g., after 12:30 uptime, the Maxes are 2.375W and 3.875W with Averages of 0.562W and 0.657W). Correspondingly, the temperature is slightly different too. (I began writing this post, because I found that one DIMM had a max total power at that point of around a watt whereas the other was over three watts.)

Is this normal behavior? If not, should I try to change it?

Thanks!!

After over an hour of use in Alan Wake II, the difference in Max temps was 0.8C and the difference in Average temps was 0.6C, so maybe not enough to worry about?
