I just got my Striker II extreme from newegg, along with a 9650 And some corsair Cas7 ram. Ohh and I didnt use a fresh install of Vista... I used the one that my M2N-32 SLI was using. Just installed drivers and ran 3dmark. Also, I'm supposed to get a free copy of the Advanced version of 3dmark06 but I cant seem to find the registration key or anything. Ohh and the GT's are in SLI.
Here's my initial run

With my q9650 i hit a wall at fsb 490.
Hope next bios is able to push 500+
And whats about the voltages?
When i select 1.3750 vcore in bios i get:
Bios 1.42v
Asus PC Probe 1.44
Coretemp 1.13750
Cpu-Z 1.360
Bios definatly need to fix this wrong readings/settings
Which reading is correct?Quote:

So i dont know whats true, fact is that the setting in bios and the reading aint even :down:
Everest seems to be reporting the accurate temps for me. I know what volts it takes for my proc to be stable and everest is dead on
(everest reports same as cpu-z btw)
Latest version?Quote:

the newest Everest 4.50.1343 Beta reading complete wrong boardtemperatures.
i have compare the bios monitoring with everest:
Bios:
Motherboard 31°
SPP 35°
MCP 39°
Everest:
Motherboard 39°
SPP 79°
MCP 44°
@sonofander
CPU-Z and Everest reports same VCore??
What Version?
Has anyone tried to OC a Q6600 Go on the SE2 yet?
Tried Everest 4.50
Under Sensor tab Vcore reports same as Asus Probe
When i look to core voltage under overclock tab the value is 0.1 less?
Coretemp doesn't readout Vcore does it, it only reads out VID... I don't own the latest version though, only one way to find out and to get out the DMM... that would be mad if ya board would overvolt so much... I too have readout issues wiht my foxconn MARS, completely bonkers....
I'm pretty sure it's a readout fault.
So I hope a newer bios will solve this.
As soon as I get my board (hopefully next weekend), I will give it a try. Right now, my Q6600 G0 is running a 400FSB (with 9x multiplier) just fine on my Maximus Formula, and my only reason to upgrade is to be able to run another 8800GTX in SLI (already here so I'm aching to set it all up). I don't know the limit of my Q6600, don't know how far my current cooling can push it, but I guess I can go and find my FSB wall (you know, set the multiplier to 6x and just find the highest FSB possible).Quote:

No_Name, thanks for the 0507 BIOS, will be useful. I saw a video of you overclocking at CeBIT 2008, impressive to say the least. Wish I could do that kind of thing...
Thanks The MAX temps on a Q6600 GO is 62.2c all other chips max temps are here.Quote:

According to Intel's specifications, and I'm sure they know best, it's actually 71C. I've been running my G0 at 3.6GHz under load over 68C for hours just fine, although I never reach that when gaming or encoding video or whatever CPU intensive work I do.Quote:

Nice pics... :clap:
Hey quick question... SIIE is supposed to come with the advanced version of 3DMark06... but where do I find the registration code? I read the manual, box, everything and I cant find it anywhere. Even explored the contents of the driver CD. no luck finding it.
look on the cd's packing
nothing on the cd jacket, there is a CD key on the other jacket for the game that came with it, but the motherboard cd (that contains the 3dmark06 installer) has no writing on it at all.
I have a Asus Striker II Extreme as well (will update my sig when my build is done).
Is it safe to remove the fat thremal pad under the heatsink part on the two MOFSET areas around the CPU? I am worrying that the insulation is needed to avoid a short? (but the thermal conductivity must be horrible with 2mm TIM).
The mosfet legs are located lower than the black heatgenerating area, you won't short it if you exchange the thick pad for normal thermal grease :)
can you post your bios settings ,please :)Quote:

Can you apply MX-2 N/S bridge and memory volt regs as well?Quote:
