Hi everyone,
I've had some troubles overclocking on this computer. Whenever I change the PCI-Express Frequencies from AUTO to 100, my CPU Usage stays in the 40's, even though no programs are running and I'm idling.
If I set it back to AUTO, I get 0% Usage and 99% on my SIP 10 seconds after logging in, which is normal + good.
I searched around and I only found 1 other person who had this problem, and he did not get a solution.

So I was wondering if anyone had any sort of idea as to a solution. I am 99% sure it is just my PCI Express Frequency that is causing it, as I changed all other settings and it did not affect it my CPU usage.
I disabled C1E and EIST and it lowered my CPU usage from 40's to 30's, but that's not what I wanted.
I want to get this running @ 4Ghz but I'm limited by my PCI Express as I don't want to have it on AUTO for obvious reasons...
Specs:
E8400 E0 Stepping
2x1GB Corsair Dominators DDR2 1066mhz
Sapphire HD 4870
Gigabyte X48-DS4 (F3b Bios)
Corsair TX-750 (750W)
I have Win XP Pro SP3 + Win7 RC 7227 in dual boot, and the problem occurs in both.
Please and thanks
