Is it possible to lower the CPU voltage on an EPoX 8K7A+?

I'm running a 1.4GHz T-Bird in my 8K7A+, and noticed that my temps are a little higher than I'd like them to be. I figured that the reason for this is that the CPU voltage is 1.85V instead of 1.75V. This shouldn't be happening, because the jumpers are set to leave the voltage at 1.75V. I looked through CMOS setup and wasn't able to find anything about lowering the VCore voltage (I'm running the BIOS dated 08/24/2001). Anyone know if there's an option somewhere to lower the voltage, possibly in a newer BIOS? Thanks a bunch.

There is nothing in the bios or jumpers to do this. I got around this by breaking one of the bridges on my T-bird to lower the voltage by
.05v. I use it to get voltage adjustment in between the .1 adjustments. It is a real @itch cutting one of those bridges, but now I can use the pencil trick to connect or erase at will.
