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.
Like i said before, your words mean nothing intill you can back it up with some hard facts, like Dino said, it has been the case with previous chipsets, both intel and nvidia to give better numbers when benching, for everyday use, i agree, overclocking your pci-e bus is pointless, but not when you are trying to get high numbers you need every little fps.
