Not all cpus are the same even if they are the same cpu if you get what I mean. You may be at the max that that cpu will do. All you can do is play with it and take small steps. Log ever thing you do so you know where you have been and where you are going. An upgrade to a FX 8150 may be what you need. Most get 4.5 out of them easy on air.

You might try taking out one of your dissimilliar ram kits. Memory issues are the most likely culprits. That or more ram voltage. Then there is the old - take everything off auto and start setting your voltages manually. Many auto settings will not function at higher clock rates. For instance - for me to get 4.0 stable on my 1090T I need to push 1.48125v on Vcore and set my freq: 1600 / 2600 / 2200 (mem/nb/ht) with NB:1.23125 v . you can start to get snappier performance by bumping up the NB freq to 2800/3000 as you add more voltage to the NB: from 1.23125 to 1.25, and 1.26875 respectively. As you increase the speed of the CPU you also have to bump up other freq. to stabalize at the higher clock rate. Like said before - start writing everything down. Note what works and find your baselines. I have post-its all over my monitor 🙂
I also like to use the OC Profiles. A great way to save settings for testing from known good place.

Very true about the ram did not even notice he had 2 differant kits. I did not know that OCZ made sli ready ram for DDR3 never saw it before. I know they went out of the ram game a while back and some of the last stuff off their line was garbage. I had 3 rma's from them around that time. Anyway get your self a 4 or 8 gig kit of ram that is factory matched to run together. That will get you into the 4.0's
