Faster PCI-E Clock = Faster Overclock?

[n3x]

I just read this about upping the clock on the pci-e slot to give better overclocking results on gfx cards... has anyone tried this?

I raised my PCi-E speed to 105mhz and now I have 675/801 fully stable, yet at 100Mhz PCi-E it crashed!

X1900XT BTW

i was running mine at 110 for a ages and you have just reminded me ive not reclocked it since flashing my bios.

it looks like it has made a difference for a few people but no difference at all for others then...

Anyone else got any results they could post? I'll give it a go myself when i get home

Wont everything blow if you dont have you pci-e clock at 100?

Nah it won't. No different to not running the fsb at exactly the right speed (in theory)
Although practically its more likely to go wrong than a bump in the fsb.

DFI recomend to use 101MHz for ATI cards and 105MHz for NVidia cards on their NF4 boards iirc

Hmm might give 110 a go, will this effect my cpu/ram overclock at all?

there must be some pretty beefy bandwidth increases in there for Nvidia to be introducing these trinity clocked PCI-E x24 slots soon
