I have a PCI Latency Timer Question. Is it better to set the PCI Bus Clock higher or lower? My motherboard supports 32 all the way up to 248 in addition to PCI-E Gen3 technology. What do you all think?

    I was reading online that if the PCI Latancy timer is adjusted that it will slow down some other device or hardware? Any suggestions on what that means? Also, is it okay to enable CE1 support on my setup with an Intel 4960x It's not even overclocked has it's stock speed is set at 3.6Ghz and it already is an unlocked cpu that can turbo boost to 4Ghz if it ever needs to draw that much power. What do you think? :) ?

    There's no real reason to adjust this unless you're using a device that demands a huge amount of bandwidth.  Increasing it can possibly create conflicts with other devices needing to use the bus. Just leave it at the default setting.

    Okay, so far running at 128 PCI Bus clock speed with no issues. I'll just leave it like that for now and see if anything conflicts with it.
