No, your mainboard is absolutely fine. It supports overclocking so no worry about your mainboard.

Are you using the stock cooler? If so, this might be the problem.
higher clock = higher temperature

You won't be overclocking much at all with the stock cooler. Upload a screenshot of [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] showing your CPU temps, this will probably give you an idea as to why you can't OC much.

Stock cooler is definitely the issue. The motherboard should be fine, but it's not very good.

What "better cooler"? Can we see a screenshot of HWMonitor, like _Skittle asked for. The way turbo works, is that your CPU ramps up when it's under load, so at 100% load, you should be at 4GHz, but at idle, you'll sit at 3.2GHz, so you're probably just sitting somewhere in the middle, in terms of load, and thus speeds. You can manually OC to sit at 4GHz constantly if you want. Either this, or you're throttling, which is why we'd like to see HWMonitor, for temps and load. Download HWMonitor, linked above, and maximize the entire CPU portion, upload a screenshot, should look like this;

Yeah, you don't need the full 4GHz at 50% load. If the CPU is under load, it will ramp up to 4GHz, that's how turbo boost works. As I said, manually OC if you want to sit at 4GHz constantly.
