The reading is significantly elevated under maximum operation.
Clock speed isn't the only issue. The main factors that damage a CPU are listed below, from most to least common when trying to improve performance: 1) Voltage/LLC 2) Very high temperature with extra voltage 3) Large ongoing current draw 4) Frequent temperature changes High clock speeds increase power consumption, so monitor the current. 1.45 V is unusually high for a load voltage, particularly with substantial LLC components.
Even a 1.35V load is quite high; going down to 1.325V is the maximum I’d consider, 1.28V marks the point where a chip starts showing degradation, and it’s only been about a year since that happened.
