Leave it at 100. Overclocking the PCI-E slot shows negligible results.

100 is just the frequency of the slot. The PCI-E number is the amount of lanes the slot has, so an x16 slot has 16 lanes.

Leave the PCI-E slot alone, if you want better results then overclock your graphic card.

Just have it set to PCI-Ex as you're using a PCI-E card.
