    Throttlestop won't help you as all it does is enable Turbo where it normally be throttled to stock multiplier. Since you don't have Turbo, you should already be running at your max multiplier of 9x. All you can do is keep pushing up the BCLK for increased clockspeed.

    Yes it is useless for the i3. Throttlestop prevents the cpu from reducing the turbo boost multiplier (which is used to keep the cpu at a lower voltage). Throttlestop removes this voltage throttling issue to increase performance. Since the i3 has no turbo boost feature, throttlestop wont be doing anything on your system.

    You mean the limit in the bios is 185? Or is it unstable after 185? If so, it could be your ram which is limiting you.
