Aw'right. Thanks heaps! Any recommendations on what boards I should take a look at, though?

This 1305 BIOS is absolutely great, overclocking has no issues (at least not for me), but most important, no more corruption *YAY!*.
The only thing I'm hoping for in a future BIOS release is that Asus will fix their issue with (some) raidcontrollers.
Hmm I'm running a Raid0 now (nothing important on it yet so if it gets fubared I don't care lol...)
Care to share info on the Raid issue thing?
PS good to hear that overclocking isn't worse than with your previous BIOS :up:
Just installed 1305 on my Striker II, nothing exploded so far. NB/SB temps are reported about 10 degress lower in BIOS hardware monitor than with 1101 BIOS. EZ Flash caused machine to shut down after flash but CMOS clear allowed normal boot. E8400 running happily @ 3.6GHz here. Only real issue after flash was that display drivers screwed up on first Vista start so had to install new ones (leaked beta 177.26 FTW :p). Gonna run some 3dmark06 and games to verify stability. Couldn't crash any video yet with short test (4 videos open simultaneously in different players for 15 minutes).
good good... keep those bios flashing reports coming :)
I like your writing style Maffer :D
nothing exploded so far :rofl:
Hehe, well I flashed without setting OC to stock and all that. I already ordered Rampage Formula (gonna swap to Intel-mobo with GTX 280 replacing old 8800GTX SLI with one big blaster) so if this board goes up in smoke I don't really care.
EDIT1: 3dmark06 passed 2 runs (177.26 gave roughly 150 marks boost compared to 175.80). Prime95 still running happily on the background doing blend tests.
EDIT2: Played Crysis for 35min or so without any fatal issues or showstopper thingies. I can recommend 177.26 set - Crysis is now playable with plenty of stuff at very high @ 1920x1200 (no AA tho). Had to close Prime95 for this stress test though, got a little bit jerky :D
haha i don't want to know!Quote:

New battery fixed the problem :) !
I was getting popping sounds using the ASUS soundcard with the 1305. I noticed this immediately in AOC. Flashed 1303 and sound issues went away. I never watch video on my computer anyway cos there's a 62" HD in teh same room, so 1303 is the bios for me.
Yeh same, its the only game that hasnt worked with these new drivers, but I can live with that, but one problem im still having is with SLI in games is still crashing, so its kinda sad i have to disable SLI if i wanna play anything...Quote:

By how much?
I just flashed and got DET DRAM and then the system would shut off, I was like NOOO WTF lol... it happened after I loaded old oc profile settings... so hereby: not recommended :D
Now it's working good as far as I can see, gonna test for video artifacting tonight, I hope it's ok for me too :)
Aye, I got DET DRAM and shut off as well after flash and yea 't was kind of :rofl: moment now that Rampage just arrived. Good timing I thought but CMOS clear made it alive as noted.Quote:

About the SuperPI, it's not slower here but it's not faster either :)
So far so good, played 50 mins of video with 2 instances of mediaplayer classic simultaneously and no problems whatsoever, where previously 1 instance of mediaplayer would artifact and lock the system up within 5 to 10 minutes
This corruption issue happened with all kind of video scaling with certain screen surfaces. I could get DOSBox crash with exact same corruption within' 30mins using ddraw or OpenGL -surface and using custom window size. Even Irfanview-slideshow in fullscreen could trigger it. But now it seems to be gone for good :)
Hello!!
I have recently adquiered a new harware computer.
Asus Striker II Formula
OCZ 1066mhz 5.5.5.12
intel QUAD Q6700 (2.6Ghz)
Asus Geforce EN 8800 GTs 512mb ddr3 ("new one")
I'm having several troubles with the motherboard, in especial doing OC .
I have updated the BIOS to the latest (1303). I tryed for several hours, changing the values to do a proper OC, and I was unsuccessfully.
If i set the values over 2,9 Ghz, the Operating systems gets a critical error about hardware malfunction,becoming the system halted. (typical blue error screen)
Moreover, on this motherboard i was unable to see the option to change the CPU core clock :confused: where is it? anyway I tried on modifing the multiplier and the fsb-ram options intending to perform a smooth OC (3,2 Ghz ratio 1:1) but I was unable.
I add some snophots of my config, anyone could give me some hints about doing this properly? for example i couln't raise the CPU clock to increase the FSB and lower the multiplyer heading to perform a 1:1 ratio & smooth OC.
http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/7...0028nv3.th.jpg
http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/4...0027jv3.th.jpg
I would really appreciate a sample config, or an explanation what i'm doing wrong. I have heard about some BIOS options bein enabled produces inestability & improper OC. I have no idea about if i concern to unset some values before doing OC.
Another point, i tryied to set the default OC values that offers the motherboad, those that have preestablished values to imporsonate doing OC other quad core series, and only the first one (2,9ghz) can be settled without system inestability, the other preconfigured OC values are not workable, this is quite weird...such a CPU is capable to hang up to 3,4Ghz, 3,5Ghz perfecly.....
Thank you very much
You must use either the original CPU block or a solution with four springs.Quote:

Regarding power supplies.
I got a good power supply, yet there are so many cables it makes me sick. I've got a large case but still it's such a pain to find a decent place for them. I know i could get a modular PSU, which seems ideal. Yet i've heard there are drawbacks to thouse being the cable can burn out or come out, etc. Yet some like the ABS Tagan BZ Series BZ800 800W http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817814014 are rated so well and seem like a great idea.
Plus i was wondering why some of you have 1000watt PSU's yet dont seem to use all the power. Should i have such a large PSU with the gaming rig?? I do run lots of hard drives, 7 to be exact. And 12 usb devices.
I would say a PSU at 50% load works safely, efficiently, cool and without noise.
For an SLI system, a quad CPU, 4GB of memory and lots of hard disks, we need about 600W minimum when playing games.
In case you play games all the time, a 1000Watt PSU is OK.
This way you use 60% of the PSU power which is much better than working at 80-100%.
Hello
Thanks for your relply
Those config options, in special enhanced intel speedstep = disable, performs the system work, is MUST BE DISABLED, or it's just a suggestion?Quote:

I found the problem, My OS. Windows 2003 x64 sp2-r2 is giving problems on OC, it detects something strange on the cpu clock vs original clock and halts the system with a message of malfunction. I'm pretty sure about that because wit Debian (linux) i can tune up my cpu at least to 3,2Ghz....
Someone knows how to disable this protection on windows 2003?
On the oter hand, the fsb-ram parameters, to perform a 1:1, what would be the ideal configuration for my hardware (fsb1066, ram 1066) Linked mode , sincronimous, fsb1066 - ram 666 ?? i can tune up those values to perform better OC?
Thanks
Yes for best overclocking results intel speedstep must be switched off like the other settings I mentioned before, best way to found out if your system is stable is to run some kinda of stressing program(occt, prime) just because your linux OS boots doesn't mean your overclock is stable, so its unlikely your windows OS suffers from a problem or this protection you mentioned. if it detects a problem that most likely because your OC isn't stable, without knowing your voltages its hard to help you sadly. so if you can post all the voltages your using that would be a big help, Because to me it sounds like your CPU is lacking the voltage it needs and is unstable because of that. and also the name of your CPU and Ram would also help.Quote:

This one's a keeper :up:
You were absolutely right.
Linux system either is nos stable, burning the cpu i gets crashed.
My CPU is a Quad Core Q6700 kentsfield (2,67Ghz)
RAM OCZ 4-4-4-12 1066mhz ( with no OC )
The voltage is settled to default, as seen here.
http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/5...0025fb9.th.jpg
and here a voltage screenshot with those values:
FSB(qdr) - 1600mhz
Sync mode
RAM DDR linked 800Mhz
Multiplier X8.0
----------------------------
total cpu speed 3,2Ghz
http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/5...0026zg9.th.jpg
I should set the voltage manually or What? wich ones? the Max limit to set up voltage is? (to do not burn the CPU xD)
I have widely heard about tunning a Q6600 up to 3.2Ghz, without setting special voltage, thats weird that my systems seems to requiere doing it :cool:
All the best.
which case is better for this burning board antec 900 or Cooler Master COSMOS S RC-1100 ????
or another you recommend....
What kind of cooling are you planning on? Water cooling at all? Any cooling of the chipsets? It matter even with a cool case. I have a Zmachine which is a solid alum. case with very good temps. And i had cooling issues with the chipsets. Both you choices seem good. But make sure to have additional cooling.
FYI all, there was an alternate thread going on the SIIF, which I am trying to move over here.
Asus Striker II Formula Thread
Question to all
Since it has been shown that when the FSB goes over 450 on this board, ram bandwidth drops and latency increases considerably. Has anyone found any numbers above 450 where these numbers go back to normal?
my bandwidth and latency are "normal for me" at 475
http://usera.imagecave.com/kossie/ohgodche.png
^^ mine are fine to as it seams
http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k2...ed/latency.jpg
hey hor$eman im in here now im still on my adventures for 4.5ghz lol
Hi EvoCarlos
Welcome to the "Official" thread.
Guys,
43 to 48 are good latency numbers. 60+ is terrible. Test at 450 or under and you will see the "good" numbers. I was hoping there might be somewhere over 450 where the numbers come back to normal.
cheers hor$eman im glad to be here lol (oh and this mobo sucks lol)
hello all :)
right did that all but worse timings with lower fsb
Ballistix Tracer >these<
1800mhz 500mhz ram
http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k2...ed/1800mhz.jpg
1800mhz link'd and sink'd
http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k2...ed/1800lns.jpg
1600mhz link'd and sink'd
http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k2...ed/1600lns.jpg
Something like this...
Looks like you latency drops as you up the freq, but like I said, 60+ is poor.
You must be using DICE EvoCarlos? I can't get those temps on air :D
no dice here lol i bought a vapochill LS off ebay and broke it after 3 hours lol and had to fix it up
but its good for -55c @ 2.4ghz see my avatar white slug ice on pipe lol

I run Linked/Sync 1000MHz at ram but forgot to tighten the timings (5-5-5-18 CR2). I do need further directions from you guys in the following:
1. still got some blue screen after benchmarking, what aspects (NB/GTLs/vcore) should I try to increase to maintain stability?
2. if wanna get the system passing Orthos stress test, what aspects should I pay attention to?
Finally for a single 9800gtx, is 15511 a moderate result? Should I go further by tighten timings and oc more on VGA card? (I am so jealous at Horseman's 20K+ 3DMark06...)
Thank to all for your every great post!!!
P.S. about memory bandwidth issue, people in my country challenged me when I give the figure of Read:11050 when OC to 3.8G and Link/Sync ram 4-4-3-8-CR1. They said the Everest 1376beta got bugs in this memory benchmarking since they cannot even reach 11000 using DDR3-1600 or above. So Sandra XII is used instead and the "similar" memory read result is 8.6 @3.8G and 9.0 @4.5G. People using DDR3-highspeed got memory read of 9.4 and so they said this is a normal difference. I avoid the conflict with them. What do you think?
Well I got 15795 marks in 3dm06 with stock clocked 8800GTX-cards in SLI and E8400 @ 3.6GHz so I guess there's nothing wrong with your result molotov :)
Thanks for telling me that. My original idea to buy this mobo is to get the second 9800gtx later... However Nvidia has new cards (GTX260 & GTX280) selling already in HK, which really upset me lolz. I got my system in early May!Quote:

Actually, I seemed to have forgotten that if you run linked and synced above 450, it keeps the good numbers, though might not get the maximum out of your ram.

thanks for the kind words for us all. Personally, I wouldn't know what I know without the help of others on this forum, so I share the credit with everyone here.
1. You have to try increasing and decreasing it. If you have a bsod, try a different number. I'd recommend increasing or decreasing 40mv at a time.
2. Heat heat heat. Orthos usually fails because a core is overheating. Actually, use OCCT. Less buggy than Orthos.
3. As long as your ram passes memtest at lower timings, use it. If you run linked and synced, you won't come near what you ram could run, so lower timings are possible. Also, running your video card, as long at what it can run is all you can do. Use ATI Tool to check for artifacts, though simply gaming will also give you an idea too. I've run artifact free in ATI Tool and then have the cards act up in a game. Use both to find your "sweet" card numbers.
I just finished working in China for 1.5 years and have much praise for the country. I am finished there for now, though might be passing by via Hong Kong on the way to my new job in Thailand.
Anybody Using this sound card on this board? I sank $200 into a Xonar but it wont fit b/c of the NB HS. Down side of tri-sli. the only usable expansion slot is the 1x at the top. I hate the supreme fx II that came with the board. Anybody know of a different nforce board that has a different PCI/PCI-E configuration?
Hey guys I just defected from my 790i and I was wondering what the best bios for the board is currently I am puting this thing together again and I was on 1202 before I put the Formula in the closet...
1305 solves a lot of issues, best out so far by far. We're still waiting on 1401, whenever that happens.
Looks like the EVGA 790i may fit a full size card inthe top 1x slot. Can anybody confirm?Quote:

3) When it has flashed to 1305, it will shut down.
4) Press the Clear CMOS button, shut off board power, remove power cord, cycle power button a few times. If inclined, remove the battery 3 to 5 minutes and cycle power button 3 to 4 times, though this shouldn't be required.
5) Plug in power. Power switch to on. Start to bios.
6) Enter bios. Do not change anything. Save and exit.
6) Enter the bios. Change settings and save and exit.
Per memory settings. It will show you the SPD table. You can still use your old (previous) memory settings, as the board may not detect the ram correctly, based upon FSB and memory freq which one selects.
Best bet is to run Mem freq at linked and sync'd for best bandwidth - lowest latency.
4500 may be attainable, but I am coming to the thought that it may not be the CPU's which are unstable at 4500, but the sys bus more than 500 (2000). Being able to use a 10x or higher multi might be able to achieve stability.
So is the Striker 2 Extreme worth getting? I'm going to get a Q9450 and want to at least see 3.4-3.5 Ghz with it using two of the new GTX 280 video cards - I'm trying to get Flight Sim X to run as close to 30 fps at 2560x1600...... I plan to water cool the CPU and use the boards own watercooling adapter. Are those 1/2 inch barbs on the northbridge?
Why u need to set SLI ram = enable when u are already a overclocker?Quote:

I agree that 1305 is quite a good bios release. But it add/remove some settings (e.g. memory timings) which leads user unable to use the old saved OC profiles. Also behaviour/response of every voltage of the mobo is different since I updated to 1305.
P.S. anyone know what's the meaning of the option ABOVE sli-ready ram? Is that related to nForce mobo chipset?

Well, I have come to the conclusion that increasing my 3DMark06 score will have to wait until I buy a new CPU. I tried tonight, and though I could beat my old fps on the opening scene (previous 145 fps, though tonight got to 149), I guess when I was burning in, a couple weeks ago (at 4500 MHz), new AS5 and watched the core temps (on real temp) go to 102c before I shut down the burn, I did damage to one of the cores. My machine still runs very well, but the one core heats up 10 to 15c above the other when running 4500 MHz plus, and this causes 3DMark to crash. 'Tis a fine line on air...
Actually, I've been off work since Feb, so I am a bit low on free cash. I am going back to work beginning July, so in August I will be building a new liquid refreshed rig with my second SIIF board.

Overclocking seems wonderful, but i wonder how many fps you actually get in real games. Like Crysis. Since that's the most demanding game out. Anyone have a before and after with there super rig. I'm new to this, and wonder how much overclocking can really help.
Did you try linked and synced?Quote:

deffiently replacing this crap board
I thought the striker ii formula could boot USB but I don't see anything in the bios (rev 1101) that'll let me do it. Is it possible?
Plug the stick in, press F8 to enter boot device select (instead of DEL to enter bios).
Select the USB stick.
Sweet, thanks. I'll give it a shot when I get home.Quote:

hi all, I have the striker II formula, with a Q9450 C1, and bios 1305, on this motherboard but you can't overclocking well, to remain stable at 3200 MHz, need a vcore around 1.25v, with a VTT of 1.4v from bios that become real about 1.31v, and must also be enabled Loadline Calibration, what I wanted to know, it is a safe VTT of 1.4 ---> 1.31v, with the loadline calibration enable, to keep the PC on 24/7?
sorry for my horrible English lol :D but I'm Italian

EvoCarlos what exactly do you mean that the NB or the SB craps out... I mean what happens that you draw that conclusion?

strange because 1305 sorted it for me, you sure its the same bug
yeah 1305 really ballz'd up the mobo it was great on 1303 went to 1305 and it seams worse but ill have another go when i have finshed making my water blocks for mobo and rebuild the vapochill :) i also noice'd the capastiors on the back of the cpu were tarnished from condonsation but should be ok now i cleand them up lol:ROTF:
it must be somthig to do with the pci-x interface can't see what else it would be
Just when I thought nvidia had finally fixed this at least on 780i

Got my new board today. It's working all fine so far. I added a fan to the chipset and 2 pci slot exhaust fans to help cool this beast. So far so good. The temps seem decent
CPU 39C
MB 26C
NB 53
SB 47
RIGHT AFTER RUNNING CRYSIS
CPU 41
MB 27
NB 57
SB 49
Got the memory running at 800mhz so far. timings 4-4-4-15-2 latency is 62 which i feel should be lower. how do i get it lower??
Read 8422
Write 6933
Copy 6159
Don't know how good those are or how to make them better. I want reliabiliy more then anything.
Stock settings for e8400. I believe i have a good working board this time, and so far. Also got the 1305 bios installed. We shall see if i get video corruption this time. I hope not. Thanks to all for help with bios settings and stuff. I will let you know how it goes.
Good luck Kevin, happy to see you are finally up and running.
Just a quick question, as i havent really had a look, but is there a option in the bios to turn the blue backlight off on the LCD poster? Because its getting annoying that when my PC is off the room is lit up blue at night :P
Yes, I think its in Boot options
i am having a problem , my windows take like 30 sec to start working ,all services , programs load but when i run everest it took like 15 sec to load
before it took no time to start working,
stock and oc is the same
I think is called ROG Backlight, is in the Onboard configuration section.Quote:

lcd poster
is in the boot tab
and under boot settings confuigeration i think lol cant check mobo is on the desk till i fix up my vapo
Hi guys! Is this board stable yet with the new BIOS? I read that many people has problems with the hot NB. Im thinking about upgrading from my 680i to the ASUS SIIF board. My Q6600 wont OC past 3.3 Ghz at all with my current board :mad:
WOW, thats a REALLY good OC! :eek: What are you using for cooling? Pictures?!? :yepp: :clap:Quote:

It behaviours is the same.
I' have tried to up some voltages:
cpuvolt 1,35
VTT 1,30
MemVolt 2,00
Again I can't go further 2,9ghz ....
The maxium seems to hold up is 1170mhz FSB 1066Mhz ram unlinked
Maybe i'm doing something wrong....i don't kwnow
I'm wondering is it would be better to someone take some pictures about the significant config to do OC
Any help would be really aprreciated.
Thanks
