P7P55 LX OC help needed!

I have an i7 860/2.8ghz processor on this board. Would like to do a 'modest' overclock to 3.8 ghz. I have a Zalman HS/Fan and Antec 900 case - plenty of air. (know now I shoulda got a better board, but...). I've read the awesome i7 OC guide.

I set Ai Tuner to DOCP to be able to change CPU Clock and voltages.

The RAM is DDR-3 1330

I've set CPU Clock to 200, CPU RATIO to 19, and the machine will boot Win 7 (64b), running at 3.8 Ghz. But when I run stress tests I get errors in the cores after only 1 minute.

My understanding is the next step is to gradually increase CPU Voltage and IMC Voltage (Vcore and Vtt), but only managed to get the system to fail boot.

Any tips in this area would be of great help.
