Here are a few ideas to help check it, although all of them are indirect 
measurements/approaches.  I don't know of anything to directly measure 
DIMM temperature.

Do you have a secondary fan installed on the case?  Is it working well? 
  Are cables to the various peripherals obstructing airflow?  Buying a 
third fan to put at the front of the case is a good way to increase 
airflow, assuming you have a slot and the tolerance for the extra noise.

Have you tried setting up lm_sensors and monitoring your motherboard 
health stats that way?

Another way is to run the system for a while until it fails, then reboot 
and enter the bios to check the system voltage/temperature stats to make 
sure they are within spec.

Try running with the case open.  You can even put your hand in there and 
get a feeling for the ambient temperature around the DIMMs.
