I have exactly the same motherboard and cpu as yours, and i do have the same problem.
With the stock hsf, the temp is always above 55 C, after I bought a new Hsf( OCZ Vendetta 2) and new themal compound, the temp dropped to 42 C on idle, I have done anything to make this cpu OC better with this mobo, but the highest stable frequency so far is only 3.6g, i guess the cpu just doesnt like this mobo... sad
