You should be able to get at least 2.6 (2.7-2.8 more likely) with the stock HS/F. That's Athlon FX territory.

yes, you'll see a nice speed increase. i put my 3700+ at 2.6Ghz for 24/7 use on the stock HSF. helped a lot in CSS and BF2 frame rates, especially in keeping the minimum frame rate in BF2 a lot higher than the stock speeds did.

Hell yes you would see a performance increase. An fx-55 ($800 retail) is only at 2.6 and they sell for that much for a reason. Also, did you get a "KABQE" stepping like you mentioned above or is that just something you've heard of? I've never heard of a KABQE

Must be a new stepping. I have a new amd 3700+ just sitting next to me too. AND GOD ITS IRRATATING, and I too am waiting on my DFI nf4 SLi-D Motherboard to come! I have a KAB2E stepping CPU (same version as The Wax Shop) by the way! I hope you like it here at OC.net, where all good people. Most of the time that is!

You didn't need a new cable, all you needed was a little adapter. I ran my 3700 at 2.86 ghz on the stock cooler, but you'll find it too noisy after awhile. If you're ok with the noise, it's a decent little cooler. I just wanted to step on it after listening to the fan whine for a month or 2.

I highly doubt you have a crappo version. AMDs in general OC fairly well (even the crappo ones) and some special chips (lately the 3700+ Sandy, of course the Optys, and the Venices) are capable of amazing things. 2.85 GHz is insane for an OC on the stock cooler.
