How can I overclock a E8500 CPU (Core 2 duo 3.16 GHz)?

Hello, good evening to all. A warm greeting from Caracas-Venezuela, I am new to the forum.
I have something to tell you:
I bought a Core 2 Duo E8500 CPU (3.16 GHZ) and I have 2 Titan 2 GB each DDR2 memories, I have them in dual channel, well you can see it in the pictures… The curious thing is that when I overclock with the program that comes with the motherboard which is the ASROCK OC TUNER, and also from the bios......it only lets me go up to 3.25 GHZ :S....it is strange because I have read on google in several places that this CPU can be overclocked to more than 3.6 GHZ, I have an excellent ASUS fan cooler that moves up to 4500 RPM.....I leave the pictures to see if you can help me how to increase the values a little, at least take it to 3.5 GHZ....
Note: I was told that when this processor goes over 3.5 GHZ, it is because these are CPUs released by Intel for better performance...I do not know if in all cases

I have read some manuals, but I do not understand much...I have tried lowering the memory voltage (little by little), changing the multiplier, and my PC always freezes when I go up to 3.25 GHZ....
Greetings to all.

An OC depends on many things; perhaps your micro allows 3.5 ghz, but for that you need good hardware to achieve it.
Mine can easily go to 5ghz; but I for example can't get it; my motherboard and memory don't allow it.
I also tell you, because I see that you say you lower the voltage to the RAM… and I don't think it's correct for anything. Look for the voltage that the manufacturer says and leave it fixed.
You say you have a good heatsink, so I don't think it's a temperature problem; perhaps with some concepts and OC parameters clear, you can start doing something.
Look at some guide and when in doubt ask. -
Thanks for your reply friend.
I have an 800W source….maybe it's because of the memory or the memories rather....I've also tried putting the memory at a speed of 333 MHZ to see, and nothing....the truth is that I can't afford it....
Thanks again to everyone.
