I wouldn't really worry about it, but I had the same issue with my ram which is rated at 2.2v, and was at 1.8 in the BIOS. I just changed it under the BIOS - not to sure why your's is set up like that. Maybe it's adding the volts to the ram?

Your BIOS is setup in the following way: - 

[auto]   - 1.80v total
[+0.05v] - 1.85v total
[+0.15v] - 1.95v total
[+0.20v] - 2.00v total
[+0.25v] - 2.05v total
[+0.30v] - 2.10v total
[+0.35v] - 2.15v total
[+0.40v] - 2.25v total
the bottom 3 are highlighted red to indicate either a warning (as these voltages can damage some RAM).

Sure you will be fine on the options that aren't red.

Most performance RAM seems to run above 2V anyway...
