Electromigration (not melting) is the issue. It gets worse over time, speeding up at increased temps and higher voltages, so problems shouldn't be expected to show up immediately....I bumped the voltage to my PC6400 to 2.35 and ended up with PC8500 and nothing melted. ...!

Sort of. The memory, like all DDR2 memory, is designed to work at 1.8V. Corsair has agreed to guarantee that memory to work even if you boost the voltage to 2.1V. Given that 2.4V has caused enough problems that EVGA has prepared a bulletin about it, I sure wouldn't feel safe at 2.35V.
