Setting my RAM voltage

I've heard that its very stupid to leave the RAM voltage on auto and instead I have to set it manually (along with timings which are done) but the 2GB Kingston stick I have in at the moment is 1.5v and in the UEFI BIOS there is 1.35v, 1.65v and 1.80v.

I'm not really sure what to do so any help would be grateful, should I leave it on auto or set it to 1.35v?

It might cause a bunch of crashes, but if you know what you're doing (which you don't) I would just leave it at 1.5v

I would but there isn't a 1.5v setting, it was on auto but I was told that its stupid to leave it like that and also I do know what I'm doing but its been a while and the UEFI BIOS is new to me.

But I'm minus the bloody 1.5v in the memory voltage section

This is what I have

1.35v

Auto

1.65v

1.80v

I'm feeling that I should set it lower to 1.35v, I don't like the idea of setting it 150mV higher than it should be
