I am convinced that the bios is overvolting the NB/ HT/ cpu and not reporting the correct voltage and temperature values

I currently have a GA-990FXA-UD5 and Phenom II X4 955 and would like to do some Northbridge undervolting but cant find any info on the topic only undervolting the CPU which i have already done. Is it safe to drop it below the auto...

I did some Undervolting on my CPU and set it to 1.3125 but hwmonitor is reporting that the max voltage it reaches is 1.38 causing temp spikes. why am i getting Vgain and not Vdroop when i have no LLC
