PCI-E frequency problem...

I've got my GA-945P-S3 running an E6300 @ 2.45GHz, I've run Orthos for a couple of hours with no problems at all, but one thing is puzzling me.
The FSB is running at 350, but if I set my PCI-E frequency to 100 it defaults back to stock when I try to boot the system, however if I leave the PCI-E setting to Auto, it's fine? This only happens when I go over 300 on the FSB.
What does this mean?

stock for pci-e is 100.auto would probs set it to 100 too.

If it works fine on Auto then I'd just leave it on that. I'm pretty sure it's only older mothoboards that up the PCI speed with the FSB, so I'm sure there's nout to worry about

Well if it doesn't ring any alarm bells then I'll see how far I can push the FSB, I'm getting a GA-965P-DS3 soon anyway, but there's no harm in seeing what the 945P-S can handle in the meantime
