I got it but it only clocks at 3.4 - 3.65Ghz at full load. And not 3.8Ghz as stated by Intel...
At first I thought it was the cooler, so I got the Ben Nevis.
The clock rate has remained the same. Do I have to change something in the bios?

Have you used CPU-Z to see the processor nakedness? In CPU-Z you can click on "Stress CPU" in the "Bench" tab. When the test is running, click on the "CPU" tab. What core speed does it show?
