The CPU voltage control can mostly be found on the main page of your BIOS.
Once you go into CPU specific chances are that the voltage control can't be found there only speeds and such.
1.212v is very low for your CPU so don't think you need to lower it even further.
But since you say you're new at OCing allow me to state that low voltage =
The lower the voltage, the better for temps. But if you go too low you'll BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death).
When you get a BSOD check in the middle of the screen.
It should say something like 0x00000101. that number usually tells you what's wrong with your computer.
101 means the CPU voltage is too low ;-)
So have fun playing with the voltage if you want but if it runs at 1.2 then you're doing great!
As for your temps.
When running prime 69°c as your max temp is great.
As stated previously try to stay under 75°C
if it just reaches a peak of 75°c every now and again but doesn't really go higher then I don't think you should lower your OC since in real-life situations your CPU won't be under that amount of stress anyway.
