simply adjusting the memory ratio doesn't just adjust the memory frequency. you are potentially running on a different strap and each ratio works in a different manner. i wouldn't be 100% sure it is your memory. it is likely, but no guarantee that it still isn't the MCH setup properly.

you can't compare voltages across two different chipsets...different ballgames, different sports even. keep in mind, he is also running 4x2GB which is going to require more work on the MCHs part. perhaps the reason for the high vMCH. with that said, yes, a lot of those voltages in his setup are rather high.
