DIMM voltage?

Hey Guys.. I seem to have hit a wall on my OC on this 1700+ B.. Not that I'm complaining.. Right now it's at 11x190=2090mhz. That's a 68% OC. But I can't get it any higher than that. I had it at 2.124 but it just wasn't stable and wouldn't fold. Not that the 200~300 mhz difference I've been seeing on some of the other OCer's stuff is gonna break me. But I'd like to know what you guys think could be holding me back.. Specs :

Epox 8RDA+ Rev 2.x
XP1700+ B Core
512MB Corsair XMS Platinum PC3200
Antec TruePower 330w (was using an Allied 400W before with same results)
SLK-900A w/92mm Fan

Temps stay below 38*C load.

What's a safe voltage to go too on the DIMM? I'm at 2.65 now and I don't know what is considered safe? I thought I read somewhere that corsair warrantys their mem up to 2.9v??? True? Well, thanx for your input.. eGo

I don't have Corsair memory but I do have Twinmoss/Winbond 3200 and Buffalo 3200 memory on my machines and I run them at 2.77 volts with no problems so you should be ok with a little boost in the voltage

Running any decent RAM below 3.0V should be fine. I run my Kingston PC3500 @ 2.85v, no probs at all.
