VCore is high for 4.5ghz. While you say you have it configured for 1.325v, as you can see, it actually is pulling 1.38v. You can probably decrease it and still be stable.

1.32v (actual reading via CPU-Z or equivalent; NOT the BIOS setting) seems to be the approx. average vcore needed for 4.5ghz, so you either have a poor overclocking CPU or excessive vcore/poor configuration.
