Looks like a turd to me too. Disgusting.:shakes:
Any relation of the turd towards the board ? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO jeez guys stop posting pointless messages, stay on topic or don't post at all pfffffff
If a moderator would hop in he could delete already 10 posts, but al by al it's not too bad in here on the other thread peeps are discussing the spikes of the heatsinks and the largeness as it doesn't look cool :(
Let's see some real action here !!
New BIOS is out. OBR - go go go, i do not have enough time right now to check it.
Hi PMP and BIOS alpha for Striker Extreme?
Doesn't seem to be much interest in this board here. Wonder why?
Looks to be a good board to me. What I like about this board compared to the 780i offerings from EVGA and XFX is that the north bridge heat sink fan doesn't blow hot air straight onto your video card. That just seems like poor planning to me.
I just ordered one from ZipZoomFly for $70 LESS than Newegg is asking.
I'll find out for my self how this bad boy works.
It's fixed now, with latest BIOS release.Quote:

i have asus p5n32-e sli board which has 680i chipset and it ran so hot.
OTher people had success in overclocking with this board but with aftermarket chipset cooling. I would like to know if 780i chipset boards NB and SB chipsets run as hot as 680i boards did.
ill be getting one of these if i dont manage to find a evga 780i

Maybe TDP for NB was not changed from the one known from 680 but HS is just slightly bigger and let it dissipate better...
Anybody try any aftermarket cooling solutions on this board yet? How about any waterblocks?
I got mine today and I am waiting for another gpu watercooling block to go SLI. How well do these overclock with Q6600 and how is the v-droop on these?
mcw30 fits nb. Asus1 nb/sb fits sbQuote:

Guess its going back and i'll wait this time for the evga.
Ram timing error ? does it go corrupt or the board shuts down what happens exactly...
Default bios, Started up no problems, Installed windows no problem, ran windows no problem 15mins, installed Chipset Drivers, Hard lock / Frozen solid. (no beep, no error msg, just frozen screen & puter)
Any installs of either XP or Vista x64 gives me the same result, Install routine works fine. It reboots to do First boot, you get the little logo, and the loading bar, it will pass once maybe twice, and locks solid. (no caps light, numlock, no mouse light, keyboard display goes dead)
Tried both Raptor HDD and an old seagate 200gb, Same Result.
Tried both different 8800GT's ( one at a time) & 1 7800GTX same result.
Tried (one at a time) Four different ram sticks.
Tried detaching all usb cables & firewire, and using ps/2 only
Motherboard & the Intel Q6600 I don't have spares of, so I'm taking a guess that It's the chipset, going to RMA and get a second one or evga version whichever they happen to have.
Unless someone else has run into this & knows better before I ship it out.
Bios didnt get any errors for the cpu, temps are all good, and memtest works for each of the ram sticks.
The thing that really gets me is the thing was up and running for 20mins or so Windows installed & working. No problems untill the asus drivers were installed. I mean Dead mobo, cpu, whatever yea it happens, but this was up and fully functional. Which would point me to the drivers, untill I deleted and reformatted in one of the other 20 installs afterwards. One buddy said mobo, other said cpu. At this point no clue. Another weird thing, it came in a sleeve wrapped around the box, with an anti-static bag, and a box o' parts. no foam or packing inside the Asus box. (Sealed Box BTW) even the mobo's dell ships to me here at work have foam. :shrug:
the same thing happened to me shortly after installing windows. i tried different ram, different cpu, different video card, and different PSU, all of wich i know work and it just won't post.Quote:

That is plain lazy on ASUS part to leave that out.
my board only posted once before it died, not to happy with this board so far. Its going back and I think i will stay with the EVGA until they release their FTW or the striker II gets good reviews.
Ran into the goold ole boot loop problem loading whatever driver comes after crcdisk.sys in vista x64. Trying to reinstall the OS again and see if that helps, but I doubt it.
