For example, i7-4790K can handle 25.6GB/s memory bandwidth. DDR3 1600 in dual channel is 25.6GB/s. If OC RAM to 1866 or 2000, they will exceed 25.6GB/s. Why people OC rams???

That is just the stock bandwidth not the max.

Then what is the real max bandwidth then? For example 4790k.

You are limited by ddr3 speeds. But for most software, ram bandwidth above stock makes no difference in performance.
