This has taken me hours upon hours of testing.
Regardless of what's said, 4GHZ on the new C3's is NOT easy, my C3 will go 3.9GHZ IBT stable at 1.375 Vcore, but this took forever, I'm going to work on trying for stability at 1.45V tomorrow.

I'd like to thank Gareth for his overclocking thread, and the people who go "Oo your overclock isn't stable unless it's LinX stable, or IBT stable"
Well here it is dammit! :D
 
wow, very impressive, the temps too

I'm not too keen on the temps.
My mam whacked the raditor on.
I'm going to do more testing tomorrow, hopefully to get 4.1GHZ IBT stable.
They scale better to cold than they do volts, if I lap my CPU and T.R.U.E I reckon I could get 1.45V 4GHZ IBT stable.
Either way, this took hours and hours, considering it was so simple for 3.9GHZ stable lol.
 
Good results dude,

My overclock on the C3 was easy but I have to pump 1.525volts through it to get 4.0ghz stable, but this was very easy.

BTW I have it under H20, tripple rad so temps never go above 50oC

I've had two C3's, they were completely different to each other in terms of what they were capable of.
This one is 3.9GHZ IBT stable at 1.375V. I was quite shocked at the amount of voltage it took for 4GHZ.
I'm going to lap my cooler/cpu soon, hope to take it further to 4.1GHZ lol.
It won't even boot at 4.2GHZ.
Can you show a screenshot like I have please? It'd be interesting to see, 10 runs of IBT with core temp and your HT/NB.
