What happens if I put 3.9V into the GPIO Pin? [duplicate]

I have a sensor which gives an output of 3.9V when high and 0V when low. Perfect for the RPi, except is it? What happens if I put the 3.9V high signal directly into the GPIO and if bad things will ...

GPIO only reaches 2,4v when high

TLDR; Under little load the GPIO 22 reaches 3,5v whereas under more load it only reaches ~2,4V, which is not enough to trigger the reset-line on an ATMEGA328P. UART GPIO Pins still reach 3,3V in both ...
