Flashed to 1004 this morning....no issues to report.
I've been waiting 4 a new bios.
I'll give this a try and tell you guys how it goes.
Please ineedaname! do it!
How come you have your E6600 at 3.6ghz at 1.37500!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(:(:(:(:(:(:(
is my board a pre-release one? or what? or is it my CPU? L628A cant believe is that BAd! I dont relaly know whats causing my problems GRRR
at 333mhz I need 1.34vcore, it ran orthos for 8 hours but then... nightmare begins at 345mhz and up
Where's the difference between the
ASUS Striker Extreme
mfg > (90-MIB140-G0EAY00T) &
mfg >(90-MBB5X0-G0EAY00Z)
don't know which one to buy.
hi , where do you find those numbers?Quote:

It's the only site that has the mfg listed.
It might be a good idea to email them and ask if this is the "so-wanted" 1.03 revision.
Hi , looked through those sites and cant read German very well , so whats the difference apart from 30 euros

Once again, I don't know for sure. People with Taiwan boards check their boxes, my China board says 00Z.
Mines says Made in Taiwan but where do I look that 90-MIB....?
Mines is 1.00G bought in newegg at january 20
Hi , my board says rev 1.00G and is made in Taiwan and part number on box is 90-MIB140-GOEAY00T
OK so i tried out this new bios and as far as I can tell its pretty much the exact same as the 1002 bios. At this point i just feel like they just renamed the 1002 beta bios and called it official. I haven't been able to clock my ram any higher at all. As for the cpu it seems pretty much the same I can't get my voltages any lower.
After a bit more testing it seems like it might even be less stable but the difference is negligible.
Nice Thread :) I've the same setup, and been enjoying clocking it... i'll take your advices eva2000 in order to improve my performance ;)
Thanks
I wrote an email.. here's the reply.Quote:

eva
you think a better OC can be achieved by putting some good cooling on the NB?
well it gets hot even at stock speeds , imagine pumping 1.6 volts through it, a good fan placed nearby will help OC surely and stability in general... Mien wouldn't boot at 500mhz from Bios with the stock heatpipe and a fan, now with the watercooling 500mhz is no issue, sadly cannot get it stable as I damaged the board a bit when modding my case... ( dam plier fell onto it, I'm glad it still boots lol max FSB now is 395Mhz )
Need some advice about OC of this board and let me show what I have:
-Striker
-CPU Cooller
-E6600
-1 x nVIDIA 8800GTX
-2 x 1GB = 2GB RAM
How to configure stable OC for these?
ThanQ
If the NB is hampering oc's then yes, if not then probably won't change much.. only way to know is try it for yourself :)Quote:

Well yeah I just did, putted some HR-05 in both SB and NB and MC14 on VRM and overclock improved 10% but still not enough.
I think my RAM is holding me back so what I did was I bought yesterday the G.Skill HZ 2Gb DDR800 pack (the ones with black spreaders like you used on your review) to see if I can get higher overclocking results.
I just hope they arrive with some good D9GMH.
BTW, Eva, how good do the G.Skill sticks respond when using them with the striker? do they like each other? :) I might buy another pack soon to have 4Gb of RAM.
i'm just letting you know that my g.skill 800hz didn't respond well to voltage at all. Could be possible its not the ram and maybe just the chipset or something but running at certain speeds i would get more errors the more voltage i put to them. Seems like there were a few other ppl on the forums who noticed that too. about 2.3v seemed to be the sweet spot.
Could be possible that the heat spreaders were preventing any further heat from getting dissipated. I haven't tried removing my heat spreaders but its also possible that i have GCT and not GMH.
well if u guys haven't seen it already some guy's saying there's a 1102 bios.

I have a Corsair Dominator PC2-6400 2GB ram and I am using it with Striker Extreme Mobo, E6600, 8800gtx.
I have specified the timings on the mobo to work at 4-4-4-12 (2T) timings and frequency to 800mhz. But when i run CPU-Z in windows it shows me frequency of 400.9 mhz only with fsb:dram 2:3. Could you tell me why does it not show me 800mhz...?
It is running at 800mhz......
its called DOUBLE data rate.
u gotta x2 it from the CPU-Z number.
thats great, thanks
Hmm I've been noticing a bit of a problem with my OC and was wondering if any1 of u guys had any insight on the situation.
I've used orthos Small FFT to test my CPU and it can go 18+ hours with no problem.
The problem is when I run Large or Blend FFT. It will only run about 30min to 1 hour before stopping. But when i go use Memtest it passes without a hitch for 10+ hours.
Well originally I figure its probably the ram but i tried various speeds, timings and voltages and no matter what large FFT's fail in about the same time.
I even set the ram back to stock speeds 800mhz 2t with everything at auto.
I'm a bit stumped so if anyone can shed some light on the situation that would b awsome.
The settings are in my sig.
Memtest is not strenuous enough to truly determine stability.
Orthos is indicating that there is an issue with the RAM stability, or perhaps too high of a FSB and you are running into chipset stability. Also, the large FFT and Blend test tend to toast the CPU a lot more than small FFTs, so perhaps we are running into a heat issue... hard to tell unless we have some more specifics about your rig.
For more accurate results out of memtest86+, run test 5 on constant loop... thats more accurate IMO than running the entire suite.
I don't think its a heat issue cuz I've tried lowering the CPU to 3.4ghz and i still get this issue but if that's the case I'm still waiting for these new thermalright coolers 2 come out. I'm also considering swapping out the huge array of heat pipes with thermalright coolers.
I did however manage 2 run my ram much longer on orthos when i put less than 2.0v in it.
BTW the ram just goes to hell whenever I put anything over 2.3v to it.
It seems really odd if my ram cannot even take over 2.0v.
I've also noticed that on Large FFT my Ram meter shows its only using about 30% of the ram whereas blend uses about 82%. Is it supposed to do that?
I'm just thinking maybe I just have some REALLY :banana::banana::banana::banana:ty sticks of ram. I see eva getting such nice results with the same sticks but mine won't break 1130 on 2t not to mention i'm getting these errors at 800mhz 2t....
It just really pisses me off that there are errors at reference speeds.
Another funny thing about the ram is that orthos takes the same amount of time to fail at 800mhz and 900mhz 1t or 2t which makes no sense to me
Hi , does the striker automatically see 4 gig of ram or do you need to enable something? thats 4 x 1 gig sticks , I will be trying it with vista 32bit , anyone already using that with 4 x 1 gig sticks
no probs with 4x1GB Gskill 6400PHU2 HZ D9GMH 629 batch @500mhz 4-4-4-12 at 2.25v vdimm http://i4memory.com/showthread.php?t=3744
automatically sees 4GB IIRC

Also, is that the lowest timings you found stable for 500mhz at 2.25v?
2T.. didn't test higher than 500mhz to be honest since i've sold 2 sets of the 6400 HZ only have 1 set left so no 4GB config for the moment
Thanks for that Eva , i have another question about E6750 cpu's and that is is it supported with current bios release for the striker
Eva, is it true that a BIOS can affect the memory command rate? I heard that some people using BIOS 1004 can run at 1T but when they tried the new BIOS 1102 they cannot run 1T anymore, only 2T.Quote:

As to E6750 no idea.. maybe 1102 beta updates the cpu codes for it ???
I run 1T and 2T the same on both 1004 and 1102.
BTW i figured out my instability issues, it wasn't the ram.
I knew different BIOs could change your OC results but I didnt know also affect the RAM. Thanks for the tip eva ;)
Hmmm, I cannot run 1T for some reason, it will give me error on 1102 but didnt give it enough testing on 1004.
Right now im running 1000mhz 4-4-4-10 at 2.250v which I think is pretty good ;) havent test it any further, I heard people running the same configuration but at 2.200v and others running 1000mhz with 4-3-3-6 at 2.35v. I will have to find out
Is it really hard to run 1T at 1000mhz? do I need a voltage pump to run 1T?
You have a nice E6600 in there ineedaname. Im about to get another CPU but still dont know if I should go for a E6600 or E6420...
all my high end micron d9xxx ram hit a ceiling at 440-450mhz 1T and need around 2.3-2.4+ vdimm which is normal for 680i chipset and 1T
Ill try 1000mhz 4-4-4-10 at 2.3v and see if that works with 1T, but I saw your results and 1T had really close results compared to 2T so if I cant run 1T Ill be happy with 2T since there is not that much difference on many tests.
I heard micron chips shouldnt get more than 2.3v or they will start to get damage, is this true? as far as I know 2.4 is the highest and safest voltage for the RAM.
It's been said micron d9 starts to get dangerous at 2.4v and above so keeping under 2.3v would for 24/7 would be better but i've only benched at 2.4-2.6v with no problems ... every day i'm happy with 500-533mhz 4-4-4-5 tight sub timings at 2.25v vdimm on 965/975 or 500-533mhz 4-3-3-4 2T with tight sub timings at 2.25v
Hey eva i was just wondering. What's the difference on your board between ur vmem and vcore using actual measure point compared to probe.
BTW Bios 1102 is official now http://support.asus.com/download/dow...%20Extreme
Yeah but is not what everybody was waiting for... looking for the next BIOS anciously
I really want to achieve something like 4-3-4-5 2T at 2.3v max, that would be pretty nice.
So far I love my G.Skill memory, dont know what IC I have but I know is some good micron.
My last corsair pair could only do 4-4-4-12 at 900mhz and needed 2.2v to work, from 900mhz and up it needed the latency to be increased to 5. A nightmare.
yea i heard that 1104 beta is in the works so hopefully that'll b out soon.
At least we know they didn't stop revising the bios yet.
That would piss me off so much.
what can we expect from 1104? better memory compatibility, better hard drive compatibility, more microcodes?? I dont want that! I want something like OC improvements or Quad-Core OC Improvement or Core 2 OC Improvements.
Never saw that in ASUS history.
well the earlier 0503 bios was utter crap so there was quite an improvement. So they do have some improvements for ocing.
But then again if they didn't make it so badly to begin with then...
Hi , just fitted a Q6600 in place of my old E6700 and all seems fine apart from temps are really low showing 18 degrees in bios and same using asus probe , cpu is at stock until i can trust the temps , any ideas , i am on 1102 bios
Hi there ppl,
Yesterday i've upgraded my bios to the 1102 Official with ASUS Update, then after restarting the system, i cannot even Post :( the system stops on "DRAM TESTING" (in the backplate LCD) and switches off itself... I've tried clrcmos, switching rams, etc, nothing worked...
Anyone with the same problem?
Thanks
Just remove 3 of your 4 ram sticks and try.
Your memory voltage have probably been reseted to default stocks during the upgrade.
It's compatible termalrigh XP120 si with STRIKER?
TKS
I don't think so Voltalex the heatpipes are too high and too close to the CPU socket better go for the Ultra120 , that one fitted fine with me....
Does the Striker post with Q6600 and bios 0402 ?? thanks in advance Guys
for me it goes but my Q6600 B3 is an ES cpuQuote:

Hey I just got this board (currently: Striker Extreme BIOS 1102) I also have a Conroe 6600 and TWIN2XP2048-6400C4 (2gig kit) RAM I got 2x Raptor X WD1500AHFD drives and a Zalman Resorator V2 for cooling (CPU block only ATM) I have an Asus 8800GTX (just 1 :( ) and I'm running Vista Hope Prem.
I'm VERY new to the whole overclocking scene so feel free to call me a nub, Ive read thru this VERY informative thread on this board/CPU combo and was wondering what you guys feel would be the optimal OC setting for the equip i listed above. I mostly have questions about memory timings/volatges and such but any additional info would be appriciated.
Thanks in advance,
Alex
You are watercooling but I wouldn't push ya hardware too high on that Zalman setup and a 24/7 3 ghz ( so XS6800 speeds) is nice and will be very achieveable withotu any high voltage pumping... try these settings and see it they run , should be fast enough...

Should i be worried about the voltages
I'm using air cooling.
http://www.directupload.net/file/d/1...jRLNOu_jpg.htm
Mutang running which overclock ? I would opt for a fan on the NB and some good ventilation in ya case. I'm using 3 ghz as a 24/7 setting , once I start to bench and do more fun stuff I screw it up to 3600mhz and more...
what hardware are you running ? 39°C idle seems pretty high to me as the cores are already in the mid 40's then. What are the opt 1-4 ? temps maybe NB SB and PWMs ?

these settings should work with 9 x 400 ( all depends if ya CPU can handle that , most important is to bring up the CPU VTT to higher settings , mien would boot but was never stable below 1.40 CPU VTT... try the settigns with 8 X 400 and then let it test orthos during a few hours... if it passes bump up the multi to 9x might be that your cpu needs 1.5 real volts to get 3.6Ghz, the other settings work for most Striker boards with E6600 with 9 multi in use, just play with the Vcore a bit to get the CPU stable...
I run mine at 333FSB so the CPU is at 3ghz 24/7 , cpu can do that at 1.35 volts , I lower NB to 1.35 and 1.2 to 1.3 volts, CPU VTT at 1.3 ...
Thank you Leeghoofd
Multiplier 9x hangs on the loading screen.
Multi 8x works at least I'm in windows now will run orthos and report the results.
For some strange reason the board over clocks itself a little bit.
I attached a screen shot.
http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/9264/83634646pr2.jpg
Looks like Core Temp reads the frequency incorrectly.
(I flashed the 1102 bios recently )
once you drop the multi only CPU-Z reads out the speed correctly, try to give more Vcore ( some need 1.5 - 1.55 real volts so 1.6 set in bios) and CPU VTT (1.5 ) and see if it boots into windows then...
Just picked up this board, rather enjoying it
have this http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=194997 small fft stable on water, working on blend, can't quite get the 4GB of memory stable for more than 90mins of blend.
Hmm.. I got the ballstix pc2-6400.. and e6600 and striker extreme...
I think I can push it to 3.3Ghz on 1.38vcore and memory running at 980Mhz fine... but once I put the fsb up over 1500... cpu 2 will always give errors...
still try to find something that's stable with 3.4... would 1.45vcore okay ? maybe I need to up my cpu vtt from 1.4 to 1.45 to see wats going on ?
the standard train of thought from what I have seen is anything under 1.7V true on the CPU is OK as long as you can manage the temps OK, as with anything in overclocking, all results may vary.
I run 3.6 with memory @ 1000 5-4-4-8 timings on 4GB on vista 64 with vcore in bios @ 1.4 (1.37 actual) so you just may have a not so great overclocker, my batch is L630BXXX on the E6600
Hmm.. yea on the striker extreme it does get hot on the nb... all the heatpipe are pretty darn hot ... my batch is L644G.. so it shouldn't be that bad..
I think im able to boot @ 3.6 but once i start doing orthos , it is not stable.. :\
Great..
E6600- L644G
FSB:1511 on 1.425v (CPU-z says 1.376v, speedfan: 1.36v..not sure which to based on)
Mem: 900 on 2.2v @2-2-2-12
Cooling on Zalman reservator 1 , 27c idle, 47 fully loaded.
Resulting is 3.4Ghz stable on Orthos for 17hrs..BUT...sometime my system will automatic restart itself.. or sometime when it restart itself, it locked up , I would have to power down and go into the BIOS again, and hit save and exit then it will go back to the 3.4Ghz.. Also..whenever I tried to open up Asus prob, it will not open and I can't even end task in task manager while it's using 50% of my CPU process..
anyone know why ? thanks !
Well firstly I think ya memtimings are way off mate 2-2-2 ????, I would onyl try to overclock the FSB of the CPU so keep that at 1511 and run the ram at 800mhz 4-4-4-12 settings...Also each mobo cpu is different so you need to find the sweetspot, because it works for Ninflas doesn't mean it will work for ya...plu spost ya complete hardware in the pc plz...

Hey everyone I'm having a few issues with my system which i built during the last week....Specs:
Striker Extreme 1102 BIOS
Core 2 Duo E6600 @ Stock
Corsair Dominator 2GB 8500C5D
Dual 74GB Raptors
1000 Watt Silverstone Strider(modular)..
Now for some strange reason i can't get my ram to run in dual channel mode....I know which slots i have to insert the ram into in order for it to run dual channel..but everytime i add a DIMM into any of the B bank slots the system doesn't boot....I've adjusted the voltage and everything but still the B bank isn't responding...I thinking that maybe its dead....so now i have the ram running in slots A1-A2...Has anyone got any ideas as to whats causing the problem....or is my asumption correct....I've tried almost everything that i can think about that would have an effect on the ram....Also both DIMMs are functional...Please can someone help me with this...thanks in advance...
short circuit, badd dimm slot,... if you can wait for an RMA, then RMA the board , if it runs fine with the current setup and you don't want to wait for weeks keep it....
Like I said on hardforum there's no cure for this mate, just another board can solve it
wow that guide is intense !!!
I love it
good work and is that the top of your E66 I dont think so but just asking
i had this SAME exact issue, was at 0901, ran asus update with 1102 bios, and rebooted machine...then nothing. I tried changing/adding/removing memory, different cpu, new video card. All that would happen it stay stuck at dram testing, and the board would continue to 'reset' itself over and over.Quote:

i had to rma the board through my local vendor. luckily, the board that i got back was already 1102.
i will never update bios in windows again.
Sorry it took so long to reply back.
I changed the value accordlingly , and I am running at 3.6 ..
Using vista..so can't use orthos to check it.. I was using
the nvida's stability test thingy.. and it seem fine with that...
Asus prob:
1.2VHT is at 1.49v
CPU VTT is at 1.42v
NB core is at 1.50v

Good job fella
darn..i spoke too soon... computer been crashing, so i dropped it down to 3.5 and ran the nvida stability test for 24hrs.. it is good at 3.5... but at 3.6 im actually getting the Blue screen of death... dumping memory blah blah...
1.2VHT is at 1.49v --> 1.4
CPU VTT is at 1.42v --> 1.45 or even 1.5
NB core is at 1.50v --> try 1.5 if stable drop down to 1.45
Plz run orthos blend , superpi and Prime 95 to verify stability...
I have very low memory performance on this mobo, at 880MHz @ 8-3-3-3 i had on EVGA 11 000MB/s in Everest, on Striker only 9000MB/s ... where is problem?
Can someone post detailed timing setting for good performance?
Was it the same Everest edition OBR ? I just tested with some cheap Gskill ram at 800mhz 5-5-5-15 2T (CPU at 3ghz) I have 9000 on Everest ultimate edition 2007, will put the OCZ in and test at 800mhz 3-3-3-9 1T brb :) cpu at 3600mhz (4 x 900 ) the result :
http://users.pandora.be/OAP2/OBR.JPG
The OCZ ram I have wouldn't boot above 830mhz with these timings at 2.3 volts so I kept them at 800mhz
Now i set CPU 435x9 - 3500MHz, RAM @ 10-4-4-4-1T at 875MHz and TRC 24, my score is 9600MB/s ... read!
On EVGA at 800@ 8-3-3-3-2T i have 10300MB/s ... where is problem with Striker?
try 400FSB at 400 *9 so at 3600mhz not 8 x you are using now, there's a strap change 450 x 8 wasn't faster than 9 x 400 , maybe it's different on each board ( set in bios prolly ) see if you can match my scores then, also what version of everest are you running ? each version has different scores and are not comparable...
If you want my version just pm me
today is friday so where is that new and amazing BIOS?
I dont give a crap about my striker anymore.
What im interested now is what NVIDIA says is gonna release, the refresh for the 680i at the end of the year (we know, november 14-15)
Hipro5 and co said the bios still has it flaws so we will have to wait, I really don't see the point in these comments, hipro5 only claimed it works loads better with his quadcore overclocks...don't know if there's anything magical about it, as the current release 1102 is pretty good of rmost users...
I hope Nvidia releases a bugless chipset now and not a pushed due to the release of 8900 series vidcard... All these probs were due to an immature chipset and the non reference design... for me the P35 works really well and Nvidia has to give us something much better to get me to buy another release from them...
I stay with the claim that Intel belongs on Intel... Striker was fun but 680i Nvidia chipset was overhyped, nuff said...
i'm interested in the scores i saw on the quadcores that's the reason i want that bios to try my qx6700 before i buy any other boardQuote:

Welll I would like to thank you for this guide ,and the many others that have made similar 680i guides in this forums,jumping from AMD to my first Intel setup ,I was allmost going to give up trying to overclock My B3 6600 quad.
After a few weeks and a million Reboots I have got my Quad stable @ 3.6GHZ on an 8X multi http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=230948
I passed a 3 hour loop of 3D Marks and a 2 day weekend session of BF2 .

Currently I'm stuck at
Stable = 3Ghz, FSB 1333 1.2v, 335.7 x 9, RAM 416.7 MHz FSB Dram 4:5 5-4-4-19 Auto.
Un-Stable = 3.1GHz, FSB 1378 1.35v, 344.5 x 9, RAM 430.6 MHz FSB Dram FSB Dram 4:5 5-4-4-20 Auto
Some users say there holes so I should just go higher with more Volts?
Any help appreciated, Optical10. how is the second cube coming along?
I don't think the Striker and Quads are going along well mate, I just got my GO q6600 and it's folding on 4 cores now to get it burned in...
I quickly tried to boot at 1600FSB but that was a no go ( which I expected ) I'm awaiting my radiator and gonna put PWM and co under water and then try to push harder... but I think I'm gonna hard lock at around 360-370FSB... with 9 multi, like Revhead many users have had good succes with 425/450 FSB and alower multi but the CPU's need some time to get there...
Keep ya posted
Just to let you know the Striker does not use a digital high temp PWM, so water is way overkill, and risky as many of those blocks have been reported to damage the chips themselves.Quote:

I had a hard time with X9 multi on the 1303 bios, things would seem stable, like OCCT would pass, a few hours of prime would pass, but when I started crunching numbers on WCG, it would fail. I was abale to stabalize at the same volts on a 450x8 multi, than I was on a 400x9, riddle me that? I do not know why it wanted a higher FSB for the same clock and volts.Quote:

Will keep that in mind Linflas, but I'm doing NB and SB cooling on water, I can add the PWM's later on if required, but I'm aware of extrea support brackets to be made to avoid the board from bending...
Tried to boot at 450FSB and it did, windows was borked though so I'll need to give it some more tweaking...
i will be rebuilding my whole rig tomorrow night, loop is going on 16 months now, time to change tubing, and give everything a clean out. Adding a new loop as well to try and push a 4ghz clock on the 6600. Will shoot some shots of the rebuild and post tomorrow night.Quote:

1.2HTT : 1.4
NB 1.4 - 1.55 tried
SB 1.55
CPU VTT 1.4
Vcore 1.5 (actual is then 1.4)
Htt 1.3
FSB 1.45
SB 1.65
Vtt 1.4
450x8 memory @ 800 for the divider, the 1:1 did not work for me with 4 dimms.
Let us know how it goes.
Needs 1.5VTT volt to get into windows, but hardlocks after a few secs... where's my radiator :)
