If you've got a good cooler, you can get to 4.0GHz without any problems. Just a simple increase of multiplier to 20x and increase voltage to around 1.48v.

I've got mine running at 4.0GHz currently, with BIOS set to 1.48v but CPU-Z and Aida64 both show 1.488v. This chip can do much more, but I'm limited by my motherboard - I'm pretty sure you could get stable at 4.0GHz with much lower voltage or at a higher clock with the same voltage, but mine's stable and running cool so I haven't bothered.

Not a problem and good luck with the overclocking.
