I remember not knowing about this and struggling to hit 4.5 GHz. Does make a big difference! How about in 3d benching?

pci-e can make miles of difference in 3d, especially aquamark3.

With nVidia cards, the higher the better.

With ATI cards, you gotta find the sweet spot. Not hitting the right pci-e w/ ati will screw the run big time.

Guess I got something to play around with then :D

youll know your pci freq limit really fast lol....expect data corruption..

if you have ssd they're easier to work with pcie benching...

This install has nothing I need, I'll just reinstall if needed :).

Guys, I didn't get a chance to bench today. I'll def. try to tomorrow. I'll post back once I do.

Kool, cuz I'm curious whats shakin on that rig ;)

These settings have gotten everything you see on the bot. Maybe something is degrading or something decided it was going to be a bitch to me with a new install of Windows. Not sure, but i need to figure it out!

Yah, thats the shakin I'm curious about, fingers and toes a shitty install.

Thanks kal, hopefully!
