Will increasing the NB frequency improve my fps?

So im using a a10 5800k with a 16% oc and noticed an option in my bios for my north bridge frequency, its currently set at 1800Mhz by default and have read mixed results about whether or not ocing it will improve performance. Can anyone tell me whether or not an oc to 2400Mhz would see any noticable gains in performance

OC the northbridge is for memory overclocking, so two scenarios that can come up which effect fps
1) Using a dedicated GPU, if so then this is very unlikely to effect fps as there are not many scenarios where your memory freq. will limit fps
2) Using the CPU's onboard graphics, this could cause an increase in performance as the onboard uses your systems memory as its source
In general I would expect some performance increase on CPU/Mem tasks but not much in game, if you want to go down this path heres an article where they did some tests;
