That varies really. I have heard of 2.6 C that overclocked to 3.0 or 3.2 with good HS/fan cooling. Some can only go up 100 Mhz or so. You won't really know until you try. You should be able to get at least 2.8 out of the CPU, most people do. Make sure you benchmark and stress test thoroughly once you hit the CPU's ceiling to make sure it won't crash on you in the heat of battle.
