What voltage is my ram actually running at?

I'm on a p5q board, which is reputed to run at +0.8V over what the bios states. The tests on this were done on a much older bios revision and may no longer be applicable as a result.

One of the stability problems my machine has is too little ram voltage, it's ocz reaper 1066mhz, rated for 2.1V but covered up to 2.15. So far I've been running at 2.02V but would like to take it higher.

So first, any software that'll give me ram voltage? I presume temperature is too much to ask for, so I may be touching it and seeing if it hurts.

Secondly, where on earth can I hold the multimeter? I'm reasonably competent electronically, and have a 10 quid standard multimeter available. At a push I could probably borrow an oscilloscope but Id rather not. However I can't see where on the board I should attempt to measure from, especially given these PCB's don't have exposed copper tracks.

Any help guys?
 
i believe you can get a reading from any point on the "ram-side" of the inductor/coil in the psurail->mobo->mosfet->caps&coils-> ram chain. - just use the case as ground.

make doubly sure, and then check again your set to volts, and not plugged into the 10A range socket on your multimeter.then probe t the base of the coil if there is an exposed solder blob, or try following the trace to an easyer point. it should alos be possible to get a reading from the fet itself - tho im not sure which leg.
