My pci e speed is 100.50 ?

[StanMen]

hey guys i have a small oc on my cpu and ram and i know that wen u up speeds on CPU all the rest come up to, so i saw that my pci-e speed is 100.50, and i get in to BIOS and i change from auto to manual and set 100, then rebut and get in the win7 and i was thinking like oh now is must be at normal 100, then i open my overdrive and saw that is damm still same thing 100.50, i just want make sure that this is normal and it will be always like this and if there is some guys having like me this let me know pls i just know that missing around with PCI-E speed is not recomendit and is can make my sis going crazy! thanks

It's strange that it reverts to 100.5 every time. Is it just in overdrive or is it shown when you enter the 2nd time in the bios as 100.5 as well?

I wouldn't worry much though because a 0.5 is very little. I've occasionally set my pci-e to 101 and to 103 and nothing bad ever happened..

I just was watching this by overdrive from amd not from overdrive from cat drivers, and in my BIOS is show 100 but in this overdrive is show corrent 100.50 and target is 100, as i say before its normal having up the pci e speed as i did OC on cpu this rise up also as the ram, but also have no probs here my temps are cool 44.5 ande max 55 and some times i get in bf3 57 my GPU and RAM also have OC my card is HD 4870 and i set speeds like on GPU 790 and Mem is 1075Mhz and in overal my mem is running at 4150Mhz is a prity good oc for this card and with this temps and my fan is at 49%

thanks men,

I have seen those settings but always left them. A google search did show me much. So moving that setting up overclocks you pci or something?

Yes, but once I read you shouldn't go over 105. I read this a long time ago so I don't know if it still holds water. What I know for sure is that before overclocking you should lock the pci-e frequency to 100 in the bios (and not leave it on auto) otherwise the pci-e frequency will overclock itself as well (probably quite a lot) and ruin the slot.

This just makes me wonder why it is even there. If no one uses it, why have the setting available to change.

No is just a normal thing that i know you also have a same thing at least if you OC your CPU also your ram and the pci e will rise up on speeds, so i before set oc on cpu was running my gpu and mem on grafic card as i posted 790 and 1075 and my pci e was normal 100, since i up my cpu speed its automaticly set at 100.50 and my ram is 832.0 is abaut 16xx Mhz DDR3 my mem is 1600 stock, and cpu is 3.0 but now is running at 3120Ghz and turbo it go up to 3560Ghz, its all normal caus its oc, my cpu temps are 28-27 idle and max in games like bf3 it go up to 41-42c and in programs its max to 30-32, so no big deal, as you can see the tmps are not bad in all cases, i just try figure out if is normal this 100.50 if its in some waymake diference to perfomance +/-

thanks bud !

Ya. On sandy bridge systems it is locked at 100 by default I think. I have an i5 and no interest in overclocking my ram so I think I am fine how I am.

yha live this u don't need that or beter say its up to u buddy you can oc and can just live it as it comes, and i ma self also don't need ocing my cpu and ram also caus i have prity well god combinations of my hardware i just now will get a new GPU i'm thinking go to 6970, or 7870, or at least but not last the 5870 xfx or asus, and also now i think this month or next one i will get more ram to get 16Gb my mobo suport up to 2000Mhz on ram so i will upgrade to 1866 or even 2000Mhz.

But for now i want see if this 100.50 make any diference to sistem i ran all benches and all progs and no probs all fine just this F***ing .50 make me crazy i want it goo way LOL
