[SOLVED] Q9550 overclock help

[ThE_4.1.1.]

Hi all

So I have the following:

Q9550
ASUS P5B Deluxe
2x2GB Corsair XMS2 DDR-800 (5-5-5-18 1.8V)
Cooler Master Hyper H412R
Open air testbed with 3 120mm fans directly overhead

I'm trying to get some extra speed from my Q9550. 3.8ghz would be amazing, but I can't get it stable at literally any overclock. Am I doing something wrong? Any advise is welcome.

Thanks for taking time to read this.

As you can notice, there are not so many interested in the old processor of getting help to overclock it.
I also have this processor.
Q9550- 65W
GA-EP45-DS4
4GB GeIL Black Dragon DDR2 PC2-6400
Corsair AX760 80 PLUS Platinum

For me there is no reason to upgrade it, (although I could, easily) for what I am doing.
I have it, the processor, overclocked to 3.65Ghz, it is enough, the temps are perfect. Overclocked brings it on par with i5-4570 according to some benchmark. Over 3.65 is not that easy, or impossible to have it stable.
My setting I am using are:

The settings I am using:
robust graphic booster- AUTO
clock ratio 8X
fine clock ratio +0,5
frequency 430
pcie frequency 100
cia2 DISABLED
performance enhance STANDARD
memory multiplier 2.00
memory frequency 860
dram timing selectable AUTO
cpu voltage 1,225
These setting are taken from different site used by a user.
So far so good.
