This RAM is rated at 2.1V

The second memory is more or less the same. 1.9-2.1V 4-4-4-15 OCZ2P800R22GK
The BIOS should use 4-4-4-15. And if there was a command rate setting, it would
make sense if it was set to 2T.

Perhaps there is a BIOS update on the XFX site. (They want a serial number, to
look at their downloads.)

As far as I know, some of the Nvidia boards are "Nvidia reference", meaning that
up to four motherboard manufacturers are shipping the same actual board, but
with a different heatsink (with their own brand on it). It is possible that
Nvidia is the one providing BIOS updates. That might also mean, that the behavior
noted for an EVGA version, would be the same as an XFX version.
