Hi and welcome to Tom's forum.

I'd not try to overclock that CPU with the stock cooler. Get an aftermarket cooler and then come back for more help.

there's no harm in trying. if you get ridiculous temperatures, shut down quick.

3.5 seems a little ambitious, but you may get close, going by this: http://www.extremeoverclocking.com/reviews/processors/AMD_Phenom_II_X2_550_14.html
