Well this should have nothing to do with tank temps assuming your probe is between the UTH and enclosure, like it should be. Your room would have to be pretty darn cold for the UTH to be maxed out at 86F. Was the Herpstat running at 100% or do you have some limit on the amount of power it can feed the UTH? Make sure your probe is installed properly between the UTH and enclosure.
