Overclocking CPU via FSB speed causes mysterious PCI Modem to appear?

The topic title says it all. I have a LanParty Canterwood motherboard with Intel 2.8 ghz cpu and a gig of pc3200 ram. When I overclock the FSB to 229 (so that the cpu is running at 3.2 ghz) and boot into windows, the hardware manager says it found a new PCI modem installed although I have no modem, PCI or otherwise. It goes away when I reduce the clock speed back down to default. I have encountered no other problems while overclocking, no freezeing etc. What is going on here?
