CPU Overvoltage Error while Undervolting

I've undervolted my E6400 down to 1.09v, but I'm getting a "CPU Overvoltage Error" message during POST, even though I'm obviously not overvolting. Is this anything to be worrying about?

Sorry, I'm clueless about this kind of stuff, because this is my first time overclocking/undervolting. >_>

so obviously don't do it, lol. just keep it at 1.1V or something and you should be fine. errors = bad. you don't want errors at all.
 
Well, it's 3 hour dual prime stable at this voltage and counting... Still, I'm wondering why I would get an overvoltage error when I'm doing the opposite - lowering voltage.
 
motherboard probably doesn't know what you're doing and says it's overvolting since it's power related
 
Oh well, I backed it up to 1.1v and it's no longer display that message. Let's see how far I can overclock from here.
