Because we are overclocking higher the you are. The more you overclock the the higher the voltage you will need, plain and simple, not to mention that every chip in unique and wont overclock the same.

Also i really hope that you don't actually mean that your vcore is 1.84V. That is way to high and would fry your chip.
 
Tested it for 5 hours with Prime 95... no errors, using it for a Month or so playing Warhammer (100% cpu use) never crashed.
Sorry I've searched for the VID in ther internet but couldn't find it(first had to find out what it means)

However the cpu is already more then 2 years old(and often used) and overclocked for a month now.

I think before Overclocking I had A Voltage of 1.3xx but I'm not sure sorry.
 
the VID is the Voltage Identifier, or the stock vcore for the chip. Coretemp will tell you what your VID is (although it isn't a big deal, i was just curious). Your actually Vcore (as set in the bios as killz86 said) is going to higher then what cpu-z is reporting due to vdrop and vdroop.

Nevertheless, not a bad overclock, and amazing temps.
congrats
