Well, firstly NEVER EVER expect what you see others do.

1) You're only 50mhz off, thats pretty close that you really won't see any more gains, and thats just the variations in chips. Plus not knowing how they oc'd its impossible to give ideas.

2) No, overclocking on stock heatsinks will not cool your cpu enough to be safe. You can still overclock, but not that high.

I have oc'd two of those and reached 4 gig easily both times so your good to go with the cpu but heed the advice ^^^^^^^^^^ dont even try on stock cooling

and if you have never overclocked before do plenty of research first :)
