Nope, I think 2.7GHz is reasonable.
1.4 Volts to get it stable at 2500MHz, my previous 170 did 2.7GHz at 1.28 Volts..

Is it just one of the cores which keeps letting you down?
My +3800 x2 will boot into windows at 2.8ghz on 1.45v but cant get core 0 prime stable without sticking 1.5v and dropping it to 2.4ghz!
Damn you Core 0 you little *******!!!!!!!!!

Yeah core 0 is crapping out on me also. Too bad but that's the way it is. With overclocking it's alway's a bit of a gamble, you got to be lucky.

My opty 170 has yet to perform,
OSA170DAA6CD
CCBWE 0551UPMW
1392568L50&&3
its maxing out at 2150, hopefully Im just doing something stupidly wrong or noobish, but I dont know, it must be the worst clocking 170 I have heard of!

Yes these things are terrible, my guess is that the memory controllers are weak. I cant post at 10x270, but I can post at 9x300. I can get the cpu stable at 2500MHz, 1.4 Volt
VaderDSL said:darn opty's overheating- the cold bug still around on the opterons? e.g the newer 165/170 is ones?
Not really sure on how the recent ones handle the cold, I've been pretty busy lately so haven't been as up to date with things as usual. I think many of them have a moderate bug, but would probably be alright on single stage due to the amount of heat they put out.
Just avoid anything with a '2' or '3' in the stepping and it should be alright.

My 146 CACJE 0604CPAW seems like a bit of a lemon, it maxes out at 2.53ghz with 1.45 volts. 
Evryone else with the same stepping seems to be getting much better.

mine would boot with 1.45 at 3 ghz but wasnt stable till 1.52 volts. Put more voltage though it and see what you can get. Sometimes a little hike in voltage gives you a lot of headroom.

Mine does 2.5GHz @ 1.45, i cant pump any more through it
