Yes, 1,4V is still safe votage for 45nm CPUs but many people are afraid of setting this voltage because they think it's too high. I just don't know why.

One reason: no $300 here to throw at another Q9450 if mine turns out to be touchy about high voltage...Originally Posted by tomcug

Q9450 @ various settings like underclocked to 2.32Ghz until a good BIOS comes along...
Mikepaul, it's impossible to kill 45nm CPU with 1,4V. By the way, my friend's fried his E7200 with too high voltage and he had no problems with RMA. I've already run my E7200 with 1,45V for few hours and it's still working. So I think you should try 1,4V for your CPU to see if it'll be stable.
