How do I get more voltage to my XP from my KT7a?

My XP1600+ wants to run at 1750MHz but just isn't getting enough vcore from my KT7a. I select 1.85v in the bios, but it's supplying 1.82-1.84v. Prime95 runs forever (ok, ~8 hours is as far as I've gone) at 1680MHz, but returns a SUMOUT after a few minutes at 1750MHz. My temps are ok -- I can't get >55C from the socket thermistor. So I need to give it a little more voltage. Is there anything simple I can do to the bridges, or better yet, is there a bios out there that will give me options over 1.85v?

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the response. I did see that mentioned in a KT7 faq. With my max load temp at 55C, do you think I have enough headroom to give it a shot? Also, do you have one of these boards yourself? I'm curious about the fsb overclocking capabilities -- I can't get over 140fsb and I'm wondering if it's the mobo.

Thanks,
