I have an i7 38203.6ghz on a p9x79 motherboard from ASUS with a Seiden 120v AIO cooler. I'm trying to overclock the card but can't do it via the BIOS settings model 3408. Can someone assist me? All the tutorials I've seen are for the latest i7 models, and I'm just starting out with overclocking. Please help!

The CPU has some unlocked features. The multiplexer can be adjusted to 43, and any overclock above 4.3GHz needs a higher BCLK, which typically reaches 103-105.

on the gen 2, 3, and 4 i series cpus it's not advisable to overclock using the BCLK. If you're planning to overclock, you should switch to a model with a K at the end. The maximum you can achieve is around 4.3ghz for that type of CPU.
