Voltage affecting memory

In overclocking of ASUS P5W-DH I somehow managed to fry my RAM.

Which settings can do that?

Here is what I had set:
CPU FREQ: 400
DRAM FREQ: 800 (I cant get it to go any faster for some reason)
Performance: Standard
MEM Voltage: 2.35V (was at 2.4 for some time)
CPU VCORE: 1.575V
FSB Term: 1.4V
MCH: 1.65V
ICH : Auto


Memory:
SPD OFF
CAS: 4
RAS: 4
RAS CAS: 4
Precharge: 10
Recovery: 4

HyperPath: Disabled
DRAM throttling: Disabed
MEM Remap: Disabled


My processor is C2D E6600
Memory is Mushkin Redline 8000

I just got my new memory back, and I dont want to fry this set too... what should I do?
Set DRAM voltage to Auto? and SPD to ON? Should I also lower MCH V? (that will most likely force me to lower my FSB)...

Thanks!

I wouldn't run RAM higher than 2.3V 24/7 w/o some good active cooling.

I'd say 2.4V is too high for long periods of time; personally i would never do over 2.3V, & that i do with a 120mm fan rigged blowing over the RAM/NB area.
 
There have been quite a bit of questions as to if current RAM modules can handle 2+ volts. While I was searching for RAM for my P5N32-E SLI Plus, I came across quite a few threads on various forums attempting to compose a list of failures and the voltages they were running when the RAM failed.
