GA-K8NXP-SLI & N-Tune warning message

Hello all

Since upgrading from BIOS F6 to F7 I can now run N-Tune. However, I get the
following warning when starting the programme: 'PCI clock is currently set
to track the HT Bus ... Please check your motherboard manual to find out how
to disable this behaviour'.

Well, I've looked at the mobo manual and it doesn't even mention a link
between the PCI clock & HT bus (I always presumed the PCI slots were locked
at 33 MHz?) so is there a way to have the HT Bus and PCI clock independent
of each other - or is this an integral *feature* of the nforce 4
chipset/Gigabyte mobo?

TIA

BillL

Hello Bill
I get exactly the same warning message and was hoping someone would explain
what this actually means and how we can overcome this error message.

Lets hoping someone reads this.

Disable "spread spectrum" in your BIOS.

Yes, disabling Spread Spectrum did it - no more warning messages when
running nTune. Stii locks up if I try and run the Quick Tune performance
tool but, hey, can't have everything? ;o)
