My motherboard is Asus P5QL, i've reached the maximum overclock possible for my q9550, which is 3.595mhz, the pc has been like this since 2 years(its 100% 24/7 stable at 55C max, full load).
I've seen alot of people saying that 105+ pci-e will damage the gpu, so its better to lock it at 100, well i tried that today, the pc did not post, i tried 105, then 110, then 115, 120, It still did not post, It was always on auto, but guessing it doesn't post on 120, i mean hell, its even more than that but i don't really have the balls to check the real freq.
Can any1 tell me why is it not possible to change it from auto to 100?
Additional info: GPU: 7870 (1 week old),b4 that i had a(6870, 2 years old)
