And who are you, the god of PCI-E? overclocking the pci-e bus is known and from my own experience to give you a bit of extra performance, this is XS forums where every single point or fps matters, so enless you have facts, i suggest you dont act so confident on your opinion.

No, I'm not the god of PCI-E overclocking and no you will not gain any performance from overclocking the PCI-E that you cannot gain by simply overclocking your video card.

Do you even know what the point of overclocking PCI-E is actually? In fact, do you even know what you are "overclocking" by OCing the PCI-E?

Now, on the Anandtech note I am aware that they mention PCI-E as a way of pushing the BCLK past a certain point but this is very much related to EVGA mobos and E-LEET software. You will not be able to boot with a BCLK past 222MHz in 99.99% of cases. If anything, you will simply end up making the system very unstable in addition to quite likely corrupting your drives, if not immediately over time for sure. It most certainly does not increase system stability nor does that review even imply that.

Unfortunately, unless you have an extremely BCLK friendly chip you are pretty much out of luck doing this on the R2E, and OCing PCI-E will be a useless effort that will give you more headaches than anything.
