3800
It would be about the same as a 7800GTX. -

Re: OC'ing my 3500+.....
I'd suggest a Thermalright XP-90 or XP-120, not a Zalman. In any case you can likely reach 2.7-2.8GHz as long as temperatures are good, so indeed you can near or even meet FX-57 speeds.Comment

Re: OC'ing my 3500+.....
They are just heatsinks. You need to purchase a fan separately. The XP-90 works great with a Panaflo 90mm L1B or M1A. The L1B is a little weaker, but a little quieter. I'd say it's probably the best choice.
For an XP-120, Yate Loon and Silverstone both make some quiet, yet powerful 120mm fans.
Oh, if you're in America, I'd suggest you buy your cooling parts on jab-tech.com and/or Frozencpu.com.Comment

Re: OC'ing my 3500+.....
thanks 4 the recommendations Yawgmoth!......just wondering would I have 2 clean off the left over thermal paste that's on the cpu & apply a new coat or can I just take off the stock fan & just replace it with the new cpu fan right away??.....& if I would have 2 clean off the thermal paste what is the proper way & would I have 2 buy something extra in order 2 remove it?....I'm Canadian BTW.....lol...thanks!Comment

Clean it off the CPU using a citrus-based cleaner such as Goo Off. Then, clean the CPU using 99% (or the highest you can find) Isopropyl rubbing alcohol. Dry it with lint-free cloth (such as lens cleaner) and apply the new stuff.Comment
