Help! I can't get my 1700x stable at 3.8ghz

As per title. I am aware of the silicone lottery and that some chips are just better than others, but from what I've seen from other people's experiences and statistics online, 3.8ghz stable on all cores is pretty much guaranteed, especially on 1800X and 1700X models which seems fishy. My motherboard is an ASUS C6H, I'm using an Arctic Liquid freezer 240mm AIO for cooling, my PSU is a corsair CX750 and I'm struggling to get 3.8GHz completely stable even when using over 1.4 volts which should be more than enough for just 3.8ghz

Am I alone? I haven't heard of anyone else with a 1700x who couldn't at least get 3.85ghz. If it helps, most stress tests crash immediately either by freezing, a black screen or rarely, a BSOD, which leads me to believe either that the chip is already severely damaged, or the PSU might have a problem, or simply I am the unluckiest person alive.

I test using prime95 and Realbench, and although I can get 3.8ghz to be stable while gaming (even in cpu intensive games), I cannot get it to be 100% stable which is needed when I'm rendering videos for example

Any and all advice is appreciated!

EDIT: I decided to test again with my side panel open so that I could properly see the Q code and error led lights below it. When the system crashes, the dram light comes on (yellow/orange), and the CPU ready led remains green as well as the board giving q code 8.
