Is there any way to determine what voltage my motherboard is automatically assigning me memory?

I am getting several errors in memtest+ on test 7. I want to play around with the voltage, but want to start with just .05+ above what is automatically being given to the memory. I am using 2 X KHX3200/512 at 2-2-2-6 on an AOpen AK86L. I have tested the modules independantly and both are giving errors so I am skeptical as to whether it is a memory issue or motherboard issue. Under heavy load I occassionally get a BSOD but nothing too serious. It will still be very nice to have the problem corrected if possible.

i think,( not positive) that info is in the spd chip of your memory. so its probably 2.5-2.6 try 2.9 if u have it...

if its on auto, or defulat, it should be 2.5V unless your mobo is intentionally overvolting it for overclocking.

I set it at 2.7 volts and it seems to work error free as far as MemTest is concerned. However, it wasn't until I put it at 2.7 volts and changed the memory timings back to SPD that they went away. SPD still sets it at 2-2-2-6 so it seems likely that there might be a BIOS issue in which manual timings are reporting incorrectly. I'll report back if I get an BSOD's. Thanks for the help guys!
