See you have these fitted in what looks like slots 1 and 3, for dual channel mode most motherboards require either 1-2 or 3-4 slots to be occupied.

I can see the thought behind heat seperation\good airflow etc, but they will naturally run hotter if they have to work harder in single memory channel mode, where they do not have to struggle and are a lot more stable in dual channel...

Check your motherboard manual to see what it recommends.

Looking really good BTW, bet you be well made up to impress the friends when it's finished. :
