ASUS Striker II Extreme

I have been testing ASUS new creation with Nvidias 790i chipset. First som pictures taken by Soulblade:

Quick test on cascade:

http://bandwidth.se/imgs/1/194/s2erigg.jpg
Then we have some results, looking pretty damn good :)

http://bandwidth.se/imgs/1/194/s2ecascade.jpg

And some bandwidth + fsb on air, bios 0507 rocks ;)

http://bandwidth.se/imgs/1/194/s2e06465.jpg

http://bandwidth.se/imgs/1/194/s2ebw475.jpg

With 9800GX2 SLI this will be some dangerous platform :eek:

This could be destroying the ORB again... looking good...

When is the NDA up for the 790i? Can you tell us? Legion hardware has a review but it's mostly memory bandwidth and sli comparisons with a 780i board.
Legion

Same as 9800GX2, 18/3. I'll publish again on tuesday :)

nice pictures

sexy mobo i want it :D

not gonna wait for the dfi

Very nice pictures indeed, and already pushing it extreme. ORB scores beware lol.

Very nice! I like it!

I hope this board can get 500+ FSB on a Qaud ! :cool:

18/3 here now, results are up :)

3 questions.

what is the TRFC and TRC range on this board?
what are the available ratios on the board?
linked and unlinked still there?

tRC = 1-63
tRFC = 1-255 (0 = Auto, you can type in the value)

Memory overclocking is done the same way as 680/780i, linked or unlinked.

Linked ratios are 1:2 (Sync Mode), 5:4 and 3:2.

cool.
thats definatly gonna open up some possibilities.

more please :D

What do you want to know my friend? :)

many more please :D:D:D

can you share Bios 0507?
and can you say more about the board temperature? nb/sb/mosfet

ps. i got my striker II exteme today... ;)

Sorry, I'm not allowed to share it yet :(

Board is very cool actually if you compare it to the crazy hot 680/780i.

Good luck with your S2E! It'll work perfectly except for a bit low bandwidth (without 0507 bios).

When can I buy one?

:( ok thanks.
i hope asus release the bios soon for everyone.

Have you find any issues? USB/Lan...

this is my first NVIDIA-Board ever. i hope it work.

Looking good Elmor, Nice rams to!

Thanks, the rams are SuperTalent ProjecX PC3-14400.

lookin good im gonna wait for the full gamut of 790i's to be released before i make my decision... i wanna see what DFI eVGA and gigabyte got up their sleeves

Full review here at OC3D :)

Hi Elmor,
do you recommend to swap my Striker II Formula for this one?
Any good improvements seen ?
I like the fusion block on it (altough it should have 1/2" barbs)

Performance is a little better because of DDR3, except for that there should be no reason to swap (unless you want to run subzero).

Might swap my E6600 for a qx9650 and have seen this board can run qx9650 with fsb 500+, something the 780i wont be able to.
Thanx for the info m8 :)

my striker ii extreme arrived today :D

really nice board ;)

but with bios 0402.

if anyone find bios 0507 or 0504 please contact me.

thanks.

Let us know the results :D

can you do some FSB testing with a dual core

also some superpi testing at different FSB

what sort of RAM OCs were you getting? was that the best you could get out of the board??

i must have time for tests and need a new bios.

Here is the Bios :)

GL :up:

many thanks No_Name. :up: :) :D

I asked in another 790i thread....but I'll ask here too anyway:

Is 400fsb (1600QDR) still a hole for quads like 680i?

Made the step and ordered 1 with a qx9650 and 4gb OCZ xtc 1600 :yepp: wich i hope is the same memory as the ocz xtc 2000 sli designed for 790i.

Let the games begin :D

Nope even on 780i it works fine...

Beautiful. Thanks for the response.....*rushes off to count pennies:D

Edit: What cpu, multi, and vcore were you able to get 400 fsb? What I'm getting at is my Q6600 does 450 x 8 no problem on my current 680i board (with quite a bit of vcore)....but I want to do 400 x 9....with less voltage than I'm using now, if possible. Trying to figure out if I should invest in 790i.

I have no dual that's good with FSB atm. RAM hit wall at about 1030-1050.

Here's a quick SPI32M, only tweak is LSC=1. Pretty fast :)

Up to ~440 FSB can be done with stock voltages, at 450 FSB only a slight CPU VTT increase is needed.

Don't be sure about that.My new Striker II can't play@1600fsb.It plays fine@1840fsb.But the first Striker II I had(died) could play well almost every fsb.She also had a working TRD setting but the newone doesn't work.
Talking about TRD,does it work on 790?Did you try it elmor?

And something else...does 13 multi work with Striker II Extreme and QX9650?
Last time I tryed on formula it didn't.

Yes, I've tested up to 16x. Works perfectly :)

Crazy bandwidth :D

http://bandwidth.se/imgs/1/194/13669bw.jpg

With dual core it could probably be 14GB/s.

really crazy :D

can you tell us your mainboard-voltages for this nice speed?

Very nice elmor on that ram speed & timing.. What Brand DDR3 memory sticks are you using with this setup?

Kingston HyperX 1800 CL8 and for some results SuperTalent ProjectX 1800 CL7. Actually the Kingstons are better :)

Hay people, I have just setup my Asus S2E on water, but when I set the VCore in the BIOS, say 1.45V, after restarting the voltage monitor in the BIOS report VCore at 1.48V, but in Windows CPU-Z shows around 1.39V... so which voltage should I be looking for? :confused:

Oh and what is the FSB Termination Voltage equivalent in the S2E BIOS? my first nForce chipset motherboard:p:

sorry elmor

i didn't see your 32M SuperPi post there

superpi looks good to me hehe :)

I had absolutely no issue with the eVGA 780i , I cannot comment on the Asus Formula II. The eVGA with P03 bios went fine at 1600FSB - 1800FSB with the q6600 or QX9650, only linked mode would result in a no post.. but 450FSB with 1200Mhz on the ram went pretty fab... Must be a bios or early chipset issue then for the Asus Formula...

Same question here. Where can i read out the VCore with my DMM?

CPU VTT = FSB Termination Voltage.

according to webwilli and another guy i talked to yes, there are still fsb holes around 400fsb, at least on the asus 790 board :/

check the legs of the capacitors around the cpu socket, thats usually a good spot to read vcore afaik.

No issues with any FSB holes here. Early bios maybe?

I read vCore from one of the inductors around the socket. Use the leg closest to the cpu socket to get the most accurate reading.

Ncix had 2 in stock when I ordered it yesterday. Decent price too($434+insurance+ S&H)Now its down to 1 and my order status is not going anywhere. Will they honor my order and ship it monday or do you guys think that I should cancel.

BTW, my first order @ NICX and am already not happy. Called em up yesterday and no answer(was directed to the vociemail).I have been so used to the fast shipping from the egg(been a customer of their's since 2001).

ncix was closed yesterday for Good Friday, I don't think any orders will be moving until Monday.

yeah...

in my case i had to rotate the southbrigde cooler, but that is no problem.

but i love my pci soundcard (auzentech xplosion) so i stick with 2way sli.

I don't mean to sound offensive, but why spend all the extra money for a Water cooled board and then replace it with your own? Wouldn't it have been easier to do with a EVGA board?

However I bet that thing runs really cool with that set up. Very nice

Only the NorthBridge is water cooled, the voltage regs and SouthBridge aren't. As for the evga comment, price-wise you may be correct. But there are quite a few differences between the ASUS 790i and the Foxconn reference boards from XFX and evga.

Cool :cool:
I have my XF-i in the lowest pci slot (under the 3rd vga)
So you might be able to do tri-sli and use your auzentech :yepp:
Did you use the EK Striker I blocks?
Have my Striker II Ex in the house now and still have my Striker I blocks somewhere, might give it a try :)

What about memory placement?
Nvidia recommend to use the black slots on their reference mobos.
That are slot 2 and 4, counting from processor.
Asus says to use the blue slots, thats slot 1 and 3.
Anyone tried whats best?
Maybe Asus changed the layout a bit?

I'm having a lot of trouble getting the Striker II Extreme to run with any FSB overclock over 350... the system passes all the torture tests with flying colours, 7+ hours ORTHOS blend, 2 hours OCCT Mix. But then the system randomly shuts down, BSOD, programs randomly terminates, and especially likely when running 3DMark06, PCMark Vantage and shutting down the PC. Latest BIOS and relaxing the memory timing don't help, raising all voltages made it even worse... Very disappointed. It is currently running at 333 FSB x12 multiplyer, 909 Memory.

Have since ordered a EVGA 790i Ultra as replacement until better BIOS fix the Asus Mobo..

w:):)t w:):)t they shipped my board from ncix today. Will be here tomorrow.

I also ordered an E3110 from ncix for testing even though I have a QX9650. Let's see how it goes.

I posted this in another thread and didn't get a response.

Anyone else have this problem with Kentsfield? Has this been fixed? Thanks.

i have read in a german board that one have problems with 65nm Quad Overclocking.

He have a Q6600:
780i 3,5 GHz
P35 3,8 GHz
STRIIEX 2,9 GHz

But others say that they have some problems with qx9650 too:

Maximus Extreme: 4,4 GHz
STRIIEX 4,0 GHz

is anybody running a 4 gig memory config on this board? Either 4x1 or 2x2?
interested in overclocking results...

Wow :eek: ... really nice results you all have with the Striker ... Especially Elmor's SPi 32M run is pretty damn' good ;)

I also want to ask sth ... Anybody found Vdrop problems yet ? 'Cause Asus un-modded boards have that problem generally ... :p:

@The Mighty: Terrific watercooled setup you got there dude ! :up:

Thanks for the reply webwilli.

Has anyone tried to mount a TRU120X yet?

Will it fit exhausting out the rear? out the top?

Thanks.

nice screens there, elmor :) cant wait to see how mine does :P

I'm also interested in this. What would be better, 4x1 or 2x2 for dual core and for quad core overclocking?

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
http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/9...installrx6.jpg

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

That's exactly my question :D
I cant get behind my mobo, and wc is blocking the frontside to the capacitors.
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

Latest version?

Checked cpu-z 1.44.1 , when i increase the vcore, cpu-z still says 1.36 so seems to be broken.

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).

I'll keep you updated on my findings, anything in particular you want to know?

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...

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.

Asus Striker II NSE @580FSB from bios boot..

Everything on @air:D

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 apply MX-2 N/S bridge and memory volt regs as well?

I put MX-1 on both north/south bridge and the two mofset areas (all surfaces directly in contact with the heatpipe system). MX-1 was a pain to apply due to the dry consistence but I hope it is fine. I am honestly not sure what you mean about the memory volt regs?
