Hold it.

That is NOT a low idle temperature for stock 965 BE. Unless you are perhaps in India or some such with no air conditioning.
What is the temperature of the room you are in?

Standard temps are about 30 degrees or a bit lower.

Check out the Black edition overclocking guide sticky at the top of the section, its got everything you need to know :) 
I'd expect 4.2GHz at most from it, unless you have a golden chip its about the limit for denebs
<Great chip :p 
I'd also have the graphics updated next, time to start saving hehe

detail will showed in your BIOS in (ADVANCED) or this : http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-785g-motherboar...

set overclock to manual Aand cpu voltage to manual
ex: Stock Speed & Voltage (1.375v) multi x16.5 =3.4ghz
- raise multiplier to X17 still use stock voltage , keep NB 200 and and test it use intelburntest software for fast result, if stable raise multi again to 18 ... again again and you will find max OC withou add voltage
