Might be, but why not just test stuff as you use them? Can you tell the difference in gaming (I imagine that's what you're interested in) between your stock memory and overclocked? If you can't tell the difference, the real life point goes away.
E-peen and group masturbation (or Internet Forums) is a different thing though.
Do you think I just trusted the benchmarks only and overclocked as much as I could?
I can show you how the FPS especially the minimum FPS increases with IMC clock increase and memory bandwidth. Also increasing the CPU/NB clock on AMD CPUs increases L3 cache performance too which IS needed by games and rendering wherever there is high memory use and frequent read/writes. Personally I know a friend who had the same CPU as mine but at absolutely stock and a GTX 460. Most games ran with a more consistent frame rate in my PC than his. He got the highest FPS more than me because he had a better GPU. But he had FPS drop issues in almost all games where I ran and still run everything much more stable and get a better experience than him. So yeah, benchmarks indeed are a reflection of the performance you get. Mind it I used the word reflection.
Also if I can ever get hold of a Phenom II x6 BE, I will overclock it and beat the 8350 black and blue.
