What I plan to say next could bother you, so I’m sorry by now (and also sorry for my English, not my first language).
So you're at 3.7 Ghz and want to push it further. You'll need to boost the voltage until it stabilizes, then gradually raise the CPU frequency until it crashes again in Prime95. Keep adding voltage, repeat. You should reach around 4.2 GHz or higher, depending on the situation. Continue until you notice the need for excessive voltage changes that impact performance.

You're at 3.7 Ghz, that's fine. To push it further, raise the voltage until it stabilizes and then keep boosting the CPU frequency until it crashes in Prime95 again. Add more voltage, repeat. You should reach around 4.2 GHz or higher, depending on the situation. Continue until you notice the need for excessive voltage changes that impact performance—check the forum link for details.
I also use OCCT as a stress test. How long should such tests last? Is an hour sufficient?
Sure, it usually takes around an hour or more, and then you need at least 12 hours to complete it.
