Clock Drive and Skew

[IntoDEV]

Hi, I wanted to ask what the hell is "CPU Clock Drive", "PCI Express Clock Drive", "CPU Clock Skew" and "IOH Clock Skew"?
My motherboard is Gigabyte GA-X58-DS4, BIOS ver. F11.

Currently set:
CPU Clock Drive - 800mV
PCI Express Clock Drive - 900mV
CPU Clock Skew - 0ps
IOH CLock Skew - 0ps

The one I'm most interested of is PCI Express Clock Drive, what changes and what happens when I change that setting.

Be very careful when skewing around...

I'm guessing the owners manual is of no help. When you are overclocking one of the settings that you can change to enhance your overclock is the clock skew. This is something that you should really do some reasearch on before messing with. Try a google search first and you will probably come across a Wikpedia link that should give you an introduction to what a clock skew is and how it should be used. What would be nice is to come across an article that will give you examples of overclocks and what adjustments to the skew you should make. It is not 100% necessary to use it but like I said it will enhance your overclock.

Yeah, googled it, found it mostly used for overclocking. Since I have no problem overclocking I see no need to skew around. Thanks
