when i set it in bios its show 8.5 but in windows its show 8x
made the change 2days ago to 1305 the mem settings are far worse imo random restarts @ bios page and not saving settings thats with sil ram enabled also i still cant overclock my cpu with sli ram enabled it just oc's the ram and puts the cpu at stock..:mad::mad: ahhhh i want 4.5ghz lol....Quote:

1) Enter bios and Press F5 to set defaults. Save and exit.

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.
TJ07 Modded and powdered.
SIIF
Q Something CPU
EnzoTech CPU Block
EK Blocks (Might get a custom duel set block milled to allow triple SLI
2 Loops
Custom Res's
Koolance Pumps
Tri-SLI (280s perhaps, will see how the 9900GTXs perform)
Raid SSDs
You get the picture :clap:
THEN, I will beat this 3DMark score for sure :D
ture but i was just merally saying that i cant overclock the cpu with sli enabled in any mode :) and yes 4.4 is great with quad but i got the bug and want more more more lolQuote:

im getting closer to 4.5 it will boot but i have issues with the gfx drivers each time i load in to windows i get black lines here and there then the driver restarts 3 or 4 times till BSD any enlightenment?:down::up:
cpu 4.5ghz cpuz
3dm06 latest
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:

In my case I see no difference.Quote:

(OVERCLOCKING)
as Rodney Reynolds said "something for nothing" 2.4Ghz cpu running @ 3.0Ghz thats a big boost.
Do you know what I mean, linked and synced? Those are specific settings.Quote:

They have re-written their code for the next one (Crysis), and apparently you can run it at highest settings on a laptop... yes it was poorly written, but it is a great test because it was poorly coded :DQuote:

yeah its in the bios fsb linked and ram synked = 1:1 ram speed with fsbQuote:

with games you can get an incress of anything from 10 to 100fps all depends on the game and settingsQuote:

heres mine @ stock 2.4ghz and ram 533mhz

and heres with my highest stable overclock

anyone heard of the new evga board coming out? 780i ftw or something, its supposed to have a nb waterblock!! aswel aload of other updates

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:

Ugly 780i FTW
Looks like a small Oriochi on the NB
I've used those for memory cooling for a while. they do a great job. I dont know if u can get them close enough to the chipsets though. Depends on your CPU cooler and video card(s)Quote:

I was under the impression that the raid controller on this chipset was true hardware raid. Since you have to install OS drivers for it that implies it isn't, right? I've looked around for documentation on this and can't find anything yet. Maybe I just assumed it was true hardware for no good reason. Am I just looking at this all wrong?
