quick question

Cpu-z says that my link width for my pci-express is at 1x
how do i get it to full at full speed, 16x?
im using a ga-965p-ds3

I'm having the same issue.

My system:

C2D e6300 @ 2.3ghz
2GB DDR2-667 4-4-4-12
PNY 7900GS @ 510/1.38
Gigabyte DS3




I just recently got my DS3 and a SB x-fi, upgrading from an ASRock Dual775-VSTA. I'm now able to run my ram at 667 instead of 600, my CPU about 350mhz faster. But for some reason I seem to be getting lower FPS in games, and I noticed my PCI-E link qidth is listed at 1x, but 16x supported. I tried to robust graphics booster, that's not it. Anyone got any ideas?

You should lock your PCI-E speed to 100MHz. If you're overclocking, then you have pushed it too far.

Currently have PCI-e set to 100 and i'm getting 16x link width. My FSB is set at 333, but is running at 332. When I set to 334, it runs at 334. Anyway, I seem to be able to get 16x link width at 100mhz PCI-e locked and 333 FSB STABLE by upping the voltages. I'm running at +.2 on DDR and MCH, +.1 on FSB and PCI-e, and 1.362 on the vCore, which is all standard for a low-OCing system.

Setting to PCI-e from Auto to 100mhz didn't work at first, at least with the settings I had at that time.
