Default standard vcore 1.85

i bought a new mobo from gigabyte ga7vaxp with a kt400 chipset
and in the bios the vcore is standard 1.85 and i can only raise the vcore more and not lower it
so now i have a ax-7 heatsink with a papst nmgl but i think that's doesn't cool enough at that vcore
my full specs:amd xp1700+
gigabyte ga7vaxp kt400
pc 400 ram with samsung chips
2 * WD 80GB JB in raid0
albatron gf4ti4200
enermax 350watt psu
chieftec midi with 3 casefans
and blah and blah
any suggestions on what i should do
1leave it this way
2do something (what?)

Only option I see is installing a more poweful fan. Everything is assembled correctly (i can know, i did it ), so it's prolly a production error in either the mobo or the PSU. Try to increase cooling on the enermax PSU (there is a knob on the back, set it to high instead of low), if that doesn't work: install a more powerful fan. 1.85v and decent cooling (Thermalright AX7 == good cooling) won't kill your proc instantly, but I don't think it will do good on the long run...

I would go into the Gigabyte forum/helpdesk/whatever to deal with this.
1.85V is 2 much when not OC'ing.
Flash BIOS with newest version ?
How high can you go btw ?

I thought options in bios were: default, +5%, +7.5% and +10% (currently set to default)

Current temps are 39°C with AX7 & cheap and silent temp-controlled fan. Not bad for 1.85vcore.
