Hello everybody !
I am new in this forum...and honesly, i don't know where to put this topic.
I am hoping that i am in the right section.
After reading an interesting tutorial about PCIexpress, i am wondering, if the PCIe 1.0 x16 clock is 2.5 Ghz, why the bios shows the PCI express frequency at 100 mhz ?
I know this question is stupid, but i am a little bit interested about that.
Thanks in advance !

I would just leave it at 100, it has almost 0 effect on performance in most situations. In synthetic benchmarks you might see a 1-2% performance improvement but it can also have an effect on your other motherboard components.
