you'll only see marginal gains when increasing the PCIe freq. Safe range is from 100-104mhz.
Also you need to lock the freq. to 33mhz.

Is 115 a safe PCI Express frequency?

Thanks I'll try to get it down a little bit if I can.
Yes I have also locked the PCI bus thingy to 33MHz, I did that with no problem at all. I just find it odd that I can lock my PCI bus to it's default 33MHz but I can't lock the PCI Express to it's default.

Oh well, I'll just try to get it as low as possible. Cheers.

Thats a little more comforting to know, I'm glad I'm not the only one running the frequency a little higher.

I also run mine at 115mhz, no problems! I also gained 450 points in 3Dmark05 at that speed. Its especially beneficial when running SLI, due to the halved bandwidth
Oh just realized:

I remember reading that on a particular intel board the PCIe was connected to the FSB so an overclock of the CPU led to a overclock of the PCIe bus. It therefore didn't overclock very well.
