Using a finger to judge if a PC component is overheating is not reliable.  Fingers usually consider a temp of, say, 35-40C warm and anything above to be increasingly hot.  And, memory under 85C is usually good.  So, a PC components could be felt hot by the fingers but yet well within its design specification.   You first check to see if your specific GSkill module has built-in temp sensor or not.

If yes, better to a software to read the actual temp.

If not, you might use a temp sensor probe to get a rough measurement.


So, is this a repeatable problem?  The PC freezes when the memory has the slightest touch?  (Do not use fingers to avoid static electricity...use something insulated).
