You've not got much headroom there for an overclock but that could be due to the low profile cooler?

I'd start checking your vcore isn't too high and would also recommend making sure you have latest bios.
 
What McGraw said. I have a similar set up with the L9i. It's not a especially designed for 88w cpu's (more like 65w) but providing you can create good airflow around the cpu area, and I mean good you'll be able to get a decent overclock. The L9i outside a itx case and it performs very well so it's all about airflow and restrictions. Good luck. (my OC is 4.5 gig btw and just!)
 
I have the latest beta bios for my z97n gaming 5.
The rear fan blows fresh air into the cpu coolers vicinity. Thats optimal?
 
I would have thought that you want all your fans pulling in the same direction no?
