I have done some research myself and 3.8 is 100% stable
| not 100% accurate.
as with Overclocking with anything, as they say YMMV, your miles may vary.
not all chips OC to the same speeds, some just can't get much out of them, while others can OC to beyond 50% or more over stock speeds.
as others have said, don't buy a chip on the assumption you'll be able to OC as high as everyone else.
3.8GHz should be possible, but its not guaranteed, nor is it guaranteed to be stable.
but just wanted to throw that out there in case for whatever reason you don't achieve the expected speeds.
