My mobo only gives up tp 6% increase in the voltage and i was wondering what happens if i overclock it to much on voltage what happens. I have cheap heat spreaders but they are evercool cheap ones from newegg.

All RAM modules have certain voltage ratings... most can take a little more than their max recommended. But of cource, you'll get to a point where it's too much and something will break. It depends on on the chips that the modules have. Increasing voltage causes heat to become an issues as well, and too much heat causes problems. You're best off looking up what chips are on your modules, and then find out the max rated votlage. When increasing voltage, try not to go too much over that rating and you should be fine as long as they don't get too hot.
