 Its not PCI-E problem..i think is DRAM:FSB ratio, locking the PCI-E frequency~

hi..i got a question about locking the PCI-E frequency when changing the FSB frequency.
here is my condition:
- my proc is pentium D 2.66, i change the fsb to 150 means OC to 3.0Ghz
-in bios, the setting for PCI-E is set at auto, from wat i heard, it is better to set PCI-E at 100Mhz and PCI at 33.3Mhz if we OC right?..but when i change the fsb to 150 and set the PCI-E to 100 and restart the pc...the bios automatically set both fsb and the PCI-E bac to the original one..wondering why?..

*for ur info, the mobo i using is Gigabyte which can be found on my sig.

the 2nd question is..is there any harm if we just put the PCI-E to auto?..thanx

PCI default frequency is 33MHz, AGP is 66MHz, PCI-E is 100MHz. Lock it to those frequencies if possible, as stability is better that way. Besides, increasing the PCI/AGP/PCI-E frequency gives virtually no increase in performance.

probably it's just that your cpu cannot cope up with the speed.

Must be a really unlucky Pentium D if it can't overclock. Even with stock cooler most can hit 3.4-3.6GHz, even 4GHz is possible with better (but still affordable) cooling. Motherboard more likely the problem.
