Impact of overclocking

Hey guys! I just overclocked my Phenom II X3 720 BE to 3.5 GHz at 1.4875V. A big thank you to red1776 for that! :D :wave:

I was just wondering where exactly will the effect of the higher clock speeds be noticed. Will any of the current games take advantage of this extra 700MHz OC with my current specs?

Any apps that would benefit?

Thanks.

Multi threaded applications and games. Your biggest drawback will be your video card in games more so than the cpu. Production software would benefit as well.
