Ah finally coolaler :) Thanks for the results. Seems as though your CPU is holding you back eh. 450FSB is not amaizing though bingo posted screens of his doing 525FSB i believe. Im sure you ll get it up there Coolaler ;)

coolaler is it right that with a Kentsfield raising the FSB above 350 becomes a problem on a 680i based motherboard?

Great work coolaler :toast:
I see you havnt gone above 450FSB. is there a issue with this board? Can you try 475-480 fsb ? :toast:


Edit

Posted at the same time :p: its done 475 FSB :D

[Ibinco]

475FSB :D Now we talking :woot:

how do the voltages look ?
droop ?
overvolt ?
undervolt?

[erwinz]

nice work coolaler.. :D

:woot: tnxs for sharing..

[dinges]

good to see this board doing some decent fsb's, wonder how stable 475/480 is though (coolaler going up is such small steps useally isnt a good sign.. :p: ).

once again, thanks for sharing :)

ow and btw, put her on phase allready! :D

[coolaler]

Test the stability of the FSB1900

http://www.iamxtreme.net/coolaler/ES680i/FSB1900.JPG

[SoF]

except the additional power connector I pretty much like the board layout.
looks clean, space around the socket.
And performance looks promising as well, hope we'll see >500 FSB on this board :cool:

[Athens[2004]]

clr-cmos button on board . :D sweet .

If u had an alliendale [6300-6400] try some fsb speed also :)

Seem like some great results for this board :toast:

I had only seen 450+ fsb with xtreme edition and 2Mb cache processors (on this chipset of course)...

Fantastic job coolaler :D

[erixon]

Can anyone confirm max vcore on this board? I have seen 1.9 and 1.6......

[skootyloops]

God that board looks so sexy :D

[zemzelett]

Can anyone confirm max vcore on this board? I have seen 1.9 and 1.6......

I been trying to find the same info, but this board is a ES and not a retail board, so the answer will be mute anyways. Notice the slightly different heat pipe design and it doesnt have the RoG logo on the southbridge. Also the colors look slightly different compared to a retail board, although i suppose that could be the camera.

Decent clocks though, id hope for a little better, but it will due i guess, better then what im stuck with atm anyways.

[markymoo]

Thats not a great overclock seen higher. using a engineering sample to show us the board and results aint very helpful. What good is that to 99% of us? Thats not the real world. Does that mean you got a lower fsb with a retail cpu? lolll. I already seen a bfg do 488 from dumo and striker do 512 from bingo13. Makes the P5BD still a great board. It seems paying $140 just to overclock that bit more questionable.

Anybody running overclocked pc for games wont bring you much more fps, when you have default sufficient speed its down to the graphics. 60fps is enough to run games very smooth.

[TaPaKaH]

475-480FSB and thats it - no more? :confused:
Someone said that it would be a great OCer :D

[bingo13]

Can anyone confirm max vcore on this board? I have seen 1.9 and 1.6......

1.9V is the max on the retail board. Do you need it to go higher? ;)

[zemzelett]

1.9V is the max on the retail board. Do you need it to go higher? ;)

Thank You for confirming Bingo.

[msgclb]

coolaler is the Striker Extreme that's in the photo on the first page a retail motherboard? The reason I ask is that it doesn't have the same heatpipes as the one on the ASUS website. I'm guessing that ASUS discovered that there heatpipe design was flawed.

[Punisher!]

That question has been answered tons of times....Yes @ the moment it does.
Man... never seen any sure reply. Now I have.

[erixon]

1.9V is the max on the retail board. Do you need it to go higher? ;)


Hehe !! No 1.9V is just fine, but i read somewhere that max was 1.6V....

[Ibinco]

Ah hellll i cant wait to get my striker! I couldnt wait for the pre order so i went and bought me a asus p5b to kill time. And ow yes i popped my brand new shiny e6600 L629B under the hood and im currently priming @ 3.2ghz 1.18vcore LOL.

This is very promising!!!! Not a bad board this P5B...its the simple version(100euro)Low budget but seems to have some juice in it :)

Now ASUS hurry up and ship me my darn STRIKER :slapass:

[erixon]

does anyone know if i reads negative temps ?

[xgman]

does anyone know if i reads negative temps ?


The evga does (in bios) but not in Ntune. Asus probe/ai has so far not in any board.

[safan80]

What's the highest FSB you can get with the E6600 running the 9x multiplier?

it's the heatpipe from the lower model called p5n32-e SLI, the little sister of the striker extreme

[Konflikt]

475 fsb?
Niceeee

[Babsy]

anyone know when it's going to retail?

[Revv23]

Cmon coolaler dro it to 7x and really crank that fsb!!

[J0d3r]

The mobo looks a lot better without that heatsinks :S

[NapalmV5]

very dissapointing..

low fsb, wheres the 500+?

680i + kent even lower fsb, fix? when?

[lowdog]

Hey m8, simple question does the SOUND ACTUALLY WORK on this Asus board when sli is enabled or is it totally phucked up like it is on the eVga 680i :fact: :fact: :fact:

Think you could give us a straight answer on this.

[cronic]

Thank you Coolaler for taking the time to test with C2D. We are very lucky to have you in the XtremeSystems community.

[cleanerupper]

Nice, thanks.

[maxxxxel]

im thinking of getting this board, do you think it needs a water block on the north bridge. or is the heatpipe enough?

[tzitzos]

thx coolarer for the share ;) ;)
keep up the good work m8

[Spacemaster]

I am very dissapointing,lox FSB,memory bandwidth is beter with 975,and FSB is nearly same.So if RD600 is not beter with memory bandwidth,I will wait for mb wit high voltage and new revision of 975 cipset.Deam I espect more of this chip.:slapass:

[gundamit]

Not sure why anyone would be dissapointed. This is just a first glance at the mobo. On the eVGA mobo people are having problems past the mid 400s and some have been as high as 525. People are still trying to sort through the inconsistent CPU performances. I'd like to see a few more bios releases before I decide whether I'm dissapointed. This 680i is still the only OC friendly officially supported SLI capable Intel CPU based chipset so it may be a good choice for gamers. :D And a nice jump from the last generation Nvidi 590s.

[charlie]

there's definitely potential in this chipset... in a month or two it'll all be good.

[situman]

Seems to have better voltage regulations. Vcore at 1.55 is better than the Kunaak's board.

[L1m1t.NL]

I really like this board, it might be expensive, but it's just Asus quality with a little bit of DFI-sauce poured over it. And with those blue LEDs it just looks amazing. I will surely consider this board for my next build. :slobber:

Anyway, there is a review of the Striker Extreme @ motherboards.org (http://www.motherboards.org/reviews/motherboards/1674_1.html), too bad they didn't pick the right processor to OC with. Still, it got to be Editors Choice! :)


Keep on doing your thing coolaler! :up:
Maybe you can get your hands on the DFI Lanparty UT ICFX3200 (a.k.a. DFI RD600) or the DFI Lanparty UT nF680i SLI, that would be awesome! :D

[cRckR]

im gonna burn my cherry popper post on you coolaler....been reading XS for ages but dont post....i could make excuses but well i just dont post....9 out of 10 XS searches start with coolaler....you have the kewlest toys!!! anywho enough worship....heh....975X or 680i .....or wait for RD600....fyi im slummin along with a asrock 775-dualvista..so i can recycle the ddr but still have a conroe......this next purchase will be my crackrock for the next six months....i want it to be "the one"..help a brother out....btw your lover needs to be saying "get in the kitchen and fix me some pie" cus you drop slices all day long....peace out...X

[pentium777]

Seems to have better voltage regulations. Vcore at 1.55 is better than the Kunaak's board.

Set my BFG 680i last night to 1.57v and it showed 1.53 after boot. Then set to 1.6v and it showed either 1.56 or 1.57 can't remember now.

I got as far as spending 10, yes 10 hours putting everything together for my new rig and then wife's rig, I wanted perfection in my new stacker 830, wish they had stock on the 830 evolution but when that comes out I'll swap out for it.

The stacker 830 had the best space of any non server case I've used and the best I've ever seen for construction and easy of use. I was able to mount 8x120mm Silverstone F121s @ 110cfm each.

I slipstreamed all nvidia drivers except the video driver into my XP SP2 CD for install tonight. Hoping this board lives up to all I've read so far!

Test the stability of the FSB1900

http://www.iamxtreme.net/coolaler/ES680i/FSB1900.JPG


niiice, if you have time coolaler san, show me orthos blend test at 450 for a few hours, that's really pushing the stability...

I need a board that can hit 470fsb orthos blend stable for phase...

regards
Raja

[revenant]

FYI - the Striker was for sale on the egg today for like 20 mins @ 399.. it either sold out or they pulled it and now it's listed @ 409 with a sold out notice.. lol. that's steep for a mobo.. but it looks really nice.. hrm.

[zemzelett]

It was for sale for about 3.5 hours actually. I made a post about it on here. And yes it really was in stock, mine shipped today, got the tracking number already.
