I believe we already had this discussion a year or two ago

I did notice a good benefit going from 2.4 GHz (stock) to 3.6GHz but that's to be expected given the massive clockspeed increase. The benefit applied most to games and engines that could take advantage of all four cores.

If anything, it's totally free to try. I could hit 3.0GHz at undervolt! (lower than stock voltage) and my chip is one of the bad original batch Q6600s that are power hungry.
