My idle temps at 3800 are ~35/40, load temps 57/62, ram running at 1140, but I can't get the chip past 475 fsb...
Assuming you have dropped the multi to see if the RAM/NB are holding you back and not the CPU? Running 8GB at 1140 is already a solid OC for 4 DIMMS so you might have to drop down a divider to get that FSB up.
