STRIKER EXTREME 2 790i
you guys are way too impatient
there will be lots of reviews done and posted overnight i'm sure
just relax a touch and find something to do for the next half a day
i am looking forward to reading all the reviews to see who had what take on the gear since i've got first hand experience this time round before some of these guy did
hahahahahah that's what my kids are likeQuote:

The "banned" review in an incredible difficult language...

Dinos22 can you do a comperative review here or on i4memory of the mobo and some bandwith tests 9 x 400FSB - 8 x 450FSB with some different ram speeds... seems more mhz on the ram isn't again always better...
Is there going to be an 790 sli boards with ddr2?
probably not, I am getting my 790i board in tonight.
OMG Im checking the egg to buy it right now! cant wait for it to be released!
hmmmm the memory performance at high fsb/memspeed seems to suck... how come?
the fsb/mem performance at 400/1600 cas7 is quite nice tho.
i hope whatever timings nvidia relaxed to reach high fsb/memspeeds can be tightneded by us to get the same perf/speed at high fsb/mem speeds :D
That problem has been there since 680i. One of the reasons why I might not go higher than 400mhz FSB but it kinda annoys me because you need 450mhz FSB in a cpu with multiplier of 9 to make it 4Ghz...
I heard a newer bios gave more ram performance at high FSB... depending on divider used it seems...
With 680i Striker you had good ram performance up to 424Mhz... then it went downhill with higher FSB
...
And to have the same perfomance of 424Mhz FSB you had to go all the way to 500mhz FSB which most strikers couldnt...
BTW, any news about the Striker II extreme??? Been looking at newegg for the last 3 hours.
Here in FL the time is 3:53pm, I believe there is 3 hours of difference between here and California right?
Only the eVGA & XFX 790i Ultra in stock so far...Quote:

Too bad they are 349usd @ Newegg. Ugh.
I ordered one of the EVGA this morning.. just have to wait for the shipping.
Oh snap, lol... I was so excited to get it I totally forgot to add some DDR3 to my order.
Anyone heard how well the G.SKILL F3-12800CL7D-2GBHZ kit works on this chipset?
Ok, I have my board right now... I didn't have to reinstall windows because of the same raid drivers... now though should I have to reinstall windows??
Still waiting for ASUS!!!! GRRR!!!
I am not sure which one to choose right now between the Asus Striker II Extreme or the eVGA 790i Ultra. I will be on water... Which way should I go for the money??
increasing FSB makes it run slower........i have to try the new bios which supposedly has somem changes but nvidia still hasn't fixed slow 32M SuperPi calculations. i am trying to fix this but from past experience they haven't done much in terms of that :shrug:Quote:

I picked evga b/c Eddy is going to be producing waterblocks for the new board soon (or so I hope :)). In addition to that I have always been impressed with evga's customers service. So far results have been impressive with both boards. In this case I don't see how you can go wrong with the evga.Quote:

Yeah the eVGA is good but they are charging you a lot for the 790i and I think the ASUS comes with a lot of goodies which makes it worth it (somewhat). At least that was with the striker, idk about the Striker II since the price is unknown yet.
Is 400fsb (1600QDR) still a hole for quads like 680i? :shakes:
