Is 1.45v safe for a wolfdale?

I've managed to get my E5300 stable at 3.8GHz, but it needs 1.45v to do it. Is that safe? I've heard stories about 45nm chips being damaged if they go above 1.4v. The temperatures are 60C on each core under prime95 small FFTs.

Edit: bah spoke too soon. Prime95 just threw up a rounding error. It needs even MORE volts. FFS :(

3.7 requires 1.4v. That's volts set in BIOS. CPUz reckons the voltage atm is 1.392. I never did work out why CPUz always disagrees with BIOS voltage.
