Ah well iŽll guess that its yet another RMA. But iŽll try 0507 just in case....
IŽll let you know how it goes.
Cheers :wave:
tested both and above settings only in blue 3d stable.
and 10-15mhz lower frequenzy in white slots
but i think you really have to digg deep into that mobo to know the quirkses and need luck with every hardware.
Good eye, Hurin. I'm going to have to try that.Quote:

Putting a module in slot 3 or 4 results in a no POST with the LCD error msg DET DIMM and thats it...
So i just got my fourth RMA process started. I still think that its a good board if i just could have a board that would work:rolleyes:
Cheers friends :wave:
Come On damnit, We need a new bios.
Hi all, been reading this thread for a bit, and now I have a Striker II extreme on its way, as I needed some SLI action! LOL! I know its a bit of a gamble, and I know all the problems you people are having, but im hoping that i'll be a bit lucky, and maybe help add to the great advice in this thread.
I was just wondering one thing... has anyone watercooled the NB on this board, and if so, did they use the fusion block that comes with the stock heatsink, or something else like an MCW30 (I have 2 sat here). If you guys are using a 3rd party block, does the stock cooling come appart like on my rampage formula, or do u have to find cooling for the PWM's and SB too?
Watercooled using the stock heatsink with no problems. Everything working Ok for me at settings as per my sig. The block is a single unit so you would need to cool everything, the SB would be a problem with SLi.Quote:

You dont need the SB to be water cooled, but a fan blowing towards it would be nice.
Since you are going WC, I recommend you WC your CPU and NB and leave the mosfets with Thermalright heatsinks and the SB with a low profile heatsink that was mentioned here back in page 40 I believe.
The NB plays a big role in the Striker II and having it with low temps helps a lot.
what kind of temps do u get watercooling the stock cooler vs. with the NB on air?Quote:

I just broke 20,000 in 3dmark06 with my 8800GTX OC2 at stock.

I read somewhere that a few people found their NB waterblock to have been cracked/have leaks. Id definitely be sure to give that a triple check.
Agreed Coupa
However, I havent heard that lately because 1) Like you said, people are triple checking and buying 3rd party things instead of using the ones that come in the box and 2) ASUS seems to have addressed this since I heard the first batches were the problematic ones.
Crazy man, broke 20K with a single GTX! Can you share what CPU and what clockspeeds you were running on both the CPU and graphics card? The best I've ever done with my GTX on the Striker was a bit over 17K (but quad-core was only at 4050Ghz)! In anycase great job on that uber score!Quote:

The 177.35 Drivers are working really well for me. Theres a link so you can just download the inf file then get the driver off Nvidia.
I hope this can solve your SLI ups, cause its really helping with mine.
You havnt used 177 drivers yet have you?
:rofl:Quote:

I was running at 3.75Ghz, with cards at 626/1000. When Benching Mark01, It would lockup on Nature. I heard it was a driver issue.
I was thinking about it all day long, and will do it now that you recommend me those :)Quote:

System froze exactly at the same time it freezes when watching movies with any other driver. Im tired of this.
Dam, i was really hoping that one would work for you.Quote:

Is that an enzotech cooler I see there? If so, Im have one of those lying around doing nothing atm!Quote:
