I always run my RAM at 2.9V. I dunno ... I figure that when you consider that I try to stick with high quality/high speed RAM with a copper heatsink in a case with proper ventilation, 2.9V is not too risky. I'd never go over 3.0V, though.
IMHO, it is safer to avoid doing a voltage mod and use a board with the settings native in the BIOS. There is always an element of risk with voltage mods. I learned that the hard way when a solder connection broke in my case, shorted to another nearby component, and blew the board.
I'm not saying the Asus is a bad board -- far from it! I just prefer a board that has all the same capabilities but allows for more OC flexability in the BIOS ... especially since it costs less. Either way you go I'm sure you'll be happy.
