Voltage Setting /MB Monitor Discrepancy?

There is a quirk that I seem to have found with my setup. It doesn't impair the syustem in any way, but I need to figure out what's behind this.
I have an Epox8KTA3 with a Duron 650. It seems as if the voltage setting in the BIOS is always lower than the software-based monitoring voltage readings by about .05 Volts.
Right now my voltage is set to Default + .200v in Bios which yield 1.800 in the Bios readout. However, the MB monitor reads 1.85.

Now is my default value 1.6 or 1.65. If it is 1.65, then why is the BIOS misreading the default as 1.6? If it is 1.6, then why is the MB monitor (and other programs like it) misreading the default as 1.65?

Hmm... mine reads 1.81volts in the monitor display, I have mine set to 1.80volts in bios. Do you have the latest bios download for your Epox?

I have seen a lot of this problems on many different boards. Mostly it's a BIOS update that'll fix it. Check Epox for the latest bios.:cool:
