Vcore is being upped to 1.85 and causing heat issues...HELP!

[bradruth]

I got my Radeon 9500 installed, my system formatted, and everything up and running. The problem is now my CPU voltage is being upped to 1.85V and I can't change it! I'm running an Athlon XP 2500+ that's supposed to be at 1.65V (which it was before). What is causing this!?

MSI K7N2-L Delta Nforce2
AMD Athlon XP Barton 2500+
512mb Crucial PC2700
Western Digital Caviar SE 80gb 8mb Cache HD
Sapphire Radeon 9500===>9700 via softmod
Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2
MSI CR52-A2 52x24x52 CD-RW
Lite-On XJ-HD166 16x/48x DVD-ROM

check bios, there should be an option for you to set the Vcore. otherwise, check the manual and there will be a jumper/switch on the actual mobo that lets you set it.

I've tried setting it at 1.65, 1.70, and hardware select. It overrides it no matter what.

Default/Reset the CMOS Mobo Jumper.

Thanks guys. I posted on the MSI site and it seems it's really common for overclockers.
