Be nice to see an actual link to your case, as it could be an airflow problem.

Invest in a cooler. I have an avarage...horrible-airflow case. In the winter in my basement, i could get a 600mhz overclock out of my 965 without temps going over 45 on load. with stock cooler. Now, Im in my room and its summer, and I dont turn the AC on much (costly) i usually have a single fan at my face xD. On stock clocks and BELOW, stock being 3.4ghz and below as far as 2.8ghz undervolted to try to solve my heat issues. I was running at 42*c idle, and if I played crysis or something, it would jump to about 67* in a few minutes.


I bought a Hyper 212+ for 30 bucks on newegg. I looked everywhere, and everyone gave so much praise to the 212 lineup, so i gave the mid-priced one a try. You can get the 212 for about 25 or the 212 Evo for about 40, but there isnt a significant difference to justify the price influx.

Now, in 32* Ambient Temps, I am idle at about 33-34* c and on REALISTIC load, doing what I usually do, bfbc2, crysis, video encoding, It never jumps above 45*. On Prime95 Blend, it gets at about 50*, which is still safely below the 60* temp you need to look out for.

after looking at your board, i think it might be your vrms, shut down your computer right quick and touch one of the chokes, if it's hot to the touch then that's probably your problem

C2 revs are pretty hard to get past 3.8Ghz without a substantial Voltage bump (which i wouldn't advice on that board).
