Lowering my CPU voltage

I have an i7-4790K and an MSI z87-g41 PC Mate.

I just built my computer, and the CPU voltage is stuck at 1.792V, WAY too high.

Unfortunately, I can't seem to figure out how to turn down the voltage. I turned the voltage mode to override, but I still can't change the voltage.

What to do?

how are you monitoring the cpu voltage? Might very likely just be an outdated software issue, no cpu would live through 1.8V :D
