Setting PCI Express Frequency

[OCFreak]

With the newer motherboards the FSB is not connected to the PCI-E frequency. You can take the FSB as high as you want to, and the PCI-E frequency will stay at 100MHz, which is the default setting.

 

This is true in most cases. However, some MBs will try and automatically set the PCI-E frequency when you are overclocking the FSB, so just be careful. Rather than putting it on "Auto" I would recommend setting it to 100MHz.
