Just a simple question, can a PCIE bus be o/c safely like a AGP bus could?

I remember having my agp set from 66mhz to 70ish mhz on my old machine and it gained me a bit on 3dmark back in the day.

Question basicly is, is this safe, do o/cers usually employ this technique, and if so, what is concidered "safe"
 
we did testing on oc'ing the pci-e bus a while back in the forums. no real gain. a search should bring it up
 
Apart from stability, the only thing it does is offer the tiniest little extra bit of bandwidth. We've only just reached the point where the OLD constraints are beginning to show their age, so adding anything to the current spec won't net you anything.
