Too much voltage through RAM modules (Crucial Ballistix Elite)

Either is fine. You can turn on xmp if that helps or just manually enter the voltage timing and frequency

DDR3 is good for 1.75-1.8V But never go past 1.65 unless you know what you are doing.

Do not worry about running at 1.536V, that will not hurt memory rated for 1.5V.

I will never ever run at XMP. What's up with the fact that you get higher timings just by activating xmp :s? I'd rather set my speed and timing manually, than let XMP do it for me while using higher latencies!

Thank you very much @Wats :). @Wats, maybe you can give me some advice on overclocking capability regarding RAM? The BCLK can't be overclocked on sandy bridge and ivy bridge cpus, so how do you tweak the speed on the RAM or is latencies the only thing you can tweak? Tweaking the latencies further just makes the RAM unstable according to my tests.
