Asus P5KC
4GB DDR2 800Mhz RAM
500GB Samsung HDD
XpertVision 9600GT O.C Sonic Edition (HDMI)

I have an Asus P5K with e8400 running at 4.02g 6x445 voltage 1.352 stable. I'm using the XIGMATEK HDT-S1283
cooler which keeps it at 45c

1.45v is way too high for 4ghz. You really don't want over 1.4v on these 45nm chips. Keep lowering the voltage until you run into stability problems. Then raise it 1 notch.

Mine ran 4.05ghz @ 1.35v on the P5KC.
