To keep a 16x pci-e link width while overclocking you need only to set the frequency between 102-105 as I said above

Has anyone had the problem when overclocking the system you get static noises through the sound? I found out from another thread that the PCI-e link width goes from 16x down to 1x when you overclock the processor. Although, when I adjust the PCI-E MHZ to 115 it will go back up to 16x. Hopefully this makes sense to someone.
This is what I have hardware-wise:
C2D E4300
Gigabyte P965-DS3P rev1.3 F11
4GB GSkill PC6400
MSI 8600GTS 256MB
Any insight?

Just as an update to this, I went over Danman's place and setting the PCI-e frequency manually did solve this static audio problem.
Unfortunately, now we're having another problem. The minute we try to overclock 1Mhz and save the BIOS settings, the system turns off, and when it turns back on it has defaulted all our settings.
I have confirmed that I can change anything else I want and save it, but as soon as I go from 200FSB to 201FSB or even 266FSB, the system shuts down and then powers back up with default settings.
It's pretty ridiculous since we had his system running overnight Orthos stable at 266x9 no problem, but now we can't do anything. Any thoughts?

nOOb question here. Trying to get my DS3 new build clean install to work on a single 200 gig Seagate drive. Everything seemed to be going well. It formated my HD loaded drivers so on and so forth and when it should have loaded the desktop it looped back to SetUp and now wants to do it allover again. For some reason it didn't continue. Any thoughts?? To load windows I set it up to boot from cd rom just like in an IDE syst. Do I neeed to do something special with the SATA drive?

Doubt it's power, unless the PSU is faulty. It's a 500W Xclio Goodpower, which typically had pretty good detailed reviews around the web. Anywho, the next day Dan calls me and tells me the BIOS is now saving the overclock, and he's running at 266x9 no problem at auto/default voltages for everything. Weird.

My general understanding on this is that you need to set the sata options in bios to legacy IDE.
