Default RAM voltage on A8V

Can anyone tell me what voltage the Auto setting gives on this mobo - I had to tweak a few settings in BIOS to get my RAM to run at 2-2-2-5 (though I didn't have to go as far as hard locking them directly at those settings - seem to remember the SPD kicked in only when I changed the DDR setting in BIOS from 1:1 to 2:1), but I've left the RAM voltage on Auto - my memory requires 2.75v, but that is not an option on the A8V, only 2.6, 2.7 and 2.8. My concern is that the voltage may have defaulted to 2.6v, though so far not experienced any lock-ups etc. Though I don't suppose it would do any harm to set it to 2.8v manually... Thanks.

I have the Corsair memory, too, on an A8V, and I have to run 2.7 to keep the timings at 2225. Default appears to be 2.6, because I got Memtest errors and game crashes before I bumped it up.

I also manually set the timings, rather than use "Auto".
