3.8GHz is quite a large overclock. I'm surprised that you don't have to go to drastic cooling measures to keep the temperatures down.

I think that you could still get great performance (or about as great performance as Yorkfield can get you) with an overclock at 3.3GHz, or even 3GHz. But I have no idea why of all things, the NORTHBRIDGE would be the problem.

I found this page over at TechPowerUp forums: http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/intel-x48-chipset-overheating.164878/

They say that the X48/X58 chipsets are known to get hot. They say that the solution is to replace the chipset cooler. (with what, I have no idea)
