I'm just upset that you say it's just synthetic benchmarks.

Getting upset will get you nowhere.
When in doubt ( no not the known phrase ):

Play ball

I highly doubt that the ability of reading and writing speeds in memory don't affect games. How come DDR3 benchmarks of real world gaming beat DDR2?

If the benchmarks you've seen are CPU Limited of course they will show a difference ( a few FPS ).
But in real-life conditions ( gaming resolutions & settings ) [ e.g. 1280x1024 4xAA 8xAF Full Details / 1680x1050 2xAA 8xAF Full Details ] there's none to marginal difference from a real low performance DDR2 configuration and a high end DDR3 configuration.

I believe that synthetic benchmarks are crock just like you, but a certain line has to be drawn.

Thank you very much, I appreciate that

If it's hundreds of megabytes I'd agree with you, a few gigabytes, not so much man.

Every day you learn new things... here's todays:
The Everest results are Gigabits per second, not GigaBytes per second.

Hey Benchz
when you set a certain vcore, do you get THAT particular vcore? or do you get lower or higher? In my BIOS I have 1.25000 and according to NB Probe II 1.40.45 Im getting 1.29 which goes up to 1.30 and with LLC enabled this changes to 1.31 with no change on load or idle.

Is this normal? lol

I don't trust software at all, even if it's just for reference.

However I trust my multimeters :

BIOS Setting - BIOS Reading - DMM Reading - DMM Idle Windows - DMM Load Windows

1.30V - 1.34V - 1.338Vs - 1.336Vs - 1.344Vs
1.40V - 1.44V - 1.438Vs - 1.436Vs - 1.446Vs
1.425V - 1.45V - 1.463Vs - 1.460V-1.461V - 1.47Vs
1.45V - 1.50V - 1.491Vs - 1.485Vs - 1.496Vs

RAM:
1.90V - 1.93V & 1.95V - 1.958Vs - 1.959V-1.960V - 1.963V-1.964V
1.92V - 1.95V & 1.96V - 1.978Vs - 1.978V-1.979V - 1.983V-1.984V
