It seems the system won't accept settings higher than 101 or so, likely because the chipset usually stops initializing above 102MHz. If this happens, it probably points to a BIOS issue. Generally, adjusting it won't cause major problems, and you might only see a small improvement—around 2%—by tweaking it.
Sure, I understand. You're unsure whether to input 100, 101 or 102 for the "Auto" setting. It's good to be cautious about affecting other components, especially since you mainly use your PC for gaming. What do you think would work best for your specs? Thanks!
If you feel uneasy, stick it on auto. It's not something you should adjust unless you're confident. Also, performance gains are limited to about 2%, which is minimal—auto runs at 100MHz, so a 2MHz boost only adds roughly a 2% improvement overall.
