RAM voltage setting problem

Hey, guys! I have a bizarre problem here: when I go into the BIOS of my Asus M5A78L-M Plus mobo, I can change RAM voltage with the RAM Overvoltage option - it's been quite a challenge to find how it works - by hitting the + key, changing it from Auto to 1.35 volts ( wich is the proper voltage for my RAM sticks ) but then when I go back to Windows 7 and launch AMD Overdrive is now too high ( 1.79 v ). I tried of course changing it directly in Overdrive but lowering voltage in Clock/Voltage tab leads to system failure and reboot. Now when I change voltage in BIOS the system remains stable but the displayed voltage in AMD Overdrive is high, wich I DO NOT WANT. Is there something I do wrong? is there a way to fix that kind of problem? Well, as a new member Iw would like first to thank you all in advance, hype.

P.S. If someone needs or want to know, I have a PC that I have assembled myself: Cooler Master case, Asus mobo as already said, MSI Radeon R7 250 graphics, Mushkin Enhanced Stealth Ram ( 9-9-9-24; 1.35 v. ) 🙂
 
Can't you just downvolt it in the bios until it reads at 1.35 in overdrive? and then if the pc won't post then you know the overdrive number is wrong? For me in overdrive the temperature number was always wrong.
 
As I said, it is possible to set voltage in BIOS to 1.35 with system being stable ( PC boots normally ) but there is no value under 1.35 ( it goes in BIOS from 1.35 to 2.15 ). There is surely something wrong since this 1.79 volts reading is not displayed without a reason. I'll be calling Asus help line on Monday to try to get more information.
