Is it worth OC my CPU to run my memory at 1600?

My 1600 memory is only running at 1333 because of my CPU. Will I see a difference from 1333 to 1600?

I got the memory and motherboard over the summer for BD. But BD is sold out so I have to wait. I'm not using the stock cooler for the CPU, it was a piece crap. I using the one off my AMD 6000+, copper bottom heat pipes fan ect. So I'm not worried about over heating. I don't really OC so I wanted to through it out and see what you guys ans girls think.
 
Solution
There is typically less than 1% increase in system performance from upping the RAM from 1333 MHz. to 1600 MHz. You'll be fine at 1333 MHz. as the RAM is not a bottleneck.
