overclocking slowing down graphics performance?

[ChannerT]

I'm running a gigabyte ds3 motherboard along with an intel core 3 duo e6400 overclocked to 3.2ghz along with 2gigs of corsair xms2 ram. I have an EVGA geforce 7900gs and ever since i have overclocked my computer the fps in all my games have dropped to unbearable numbers (usually 12-17 fps depending on the game) Is there something i messed up in my bios settings that may have caused this? Any help at all would be appreciated. Thanks

i had this same problem.

go to your M.I.T. and overclock the PCI-E frequency to 105mhz. Boot up windows, open CPU-Z, then go under Mainboard. See if your PCI-E slot is running at x16 bandwith. If it's running at x1 bandwith, go back to M.I.T. and overclock a little more.

Cheers.

Wow thanks so much for replying, for the life of me I couldn't figure out what was going on.
