> That last bit is strange because ECC is reportedly very good as a validation tool for overclocking builds
Well, yes, but it's not the only tool. In practice you'd use some validation software suite to find a reasonable stable configuration and afterwards prey. Overclockers, who rather than spending extra money on a CPU which assuredly delivers requested performance stress their hardware beyond specifications, are least likely to pay for the extra bits.
