Adding to this thread, its very ironic that most Mac users tend to seek advice from their friends that own a PC when their Mac has a problem be it hardware or software. Even some PC users are more...

Does anyone know if I can use a beta bios (g30) with this FoxLive Update utility? I have the first release of this bios (P06) and its horrible!

Go with aftermarket cooling ... dont rely on those "leftovers" of the previous heatsink philosophy. It might do the work when all of them are alltogether connected via a heatpipe but I doubt those...

Its pretty hot as usual, every summer its hell here :D

Here you go with the Uguru settings

I am here for a 24/7 machine ... I have only given the memory 2.05 through bios and just a clock up for the cpu. All the other voltages are default

Everything seems stable but once in a while...

Update : IT lost the hard disk again at 400X7 with little voltage increases to everything compared to stock BIOS settings

This time the Windows installation went corrupt ... I'm suspecting it...

Its a WinXP Pro with service pack 3 splipstreamed Ace.

Settings seems to work now after the install but I have idle temps of 50-52 celcius. I am using an Ultra 120 with a push-pull config

Update

I flashed to Bios Version 14, following Ace-A-Rue's rules with the USB flash method ... all went well

Now ... here are my 24/7 settings which were stable on my UBUNTU 8.04 setup but not...

Is updating through windows (non overclocked) safe? I just hate to deal with floppy discs!

I was using this board with Ubuntu releases, always overclocked to 500X7 using an C2D6300 and it was dead stable

Now after installing a Raptor 150 X for a Windows partition it seems to lose the...

Yup. same here ... I havent posted since page 131-133. I'm using an old timer 6300@ 500X7 with all 4 slots filled with Ballistix Ram (4X1gb) at 500fsb 5-5-5-12 at 2.075 with no issues at all

Once...

99% of the users in this thread are like this. Welcome to the crappy 780i ...

+1 ... I have tried hundreds of settings ... nothing seems to work. 8800gt in SLI here ... rig is stable in everything except games

Nice going horseman!!! I'll try doing the same or something similar

Does anybody know what thermalright coolers for the mosfet area are compatible with the striker II?

Have you upgraded to 1303 bios? Whats your current bios?

Ok, here are my conclusions

I have tested this board with the 1303 BIOS, 2X2gb of Corsair RAM (4-4-4-12 @800) and here are my thoughts

Whatever setting I try the system locks up eventually ......

Managed to pull out something guys

I am at 350X9 = 3150 which seems totally stable. RAM is running at 933MHZ 5-5-5-15

All volts are raised 2 or 3 steps up, I'll post screens later

I did try...

Does this board "feel" any better with one of the 45nm C2d? An 8200 for example? Is 500fsb with one of those 8200's easy to obtain or not? Just curious ...

Thanks for the help The0men ... I will try those settings and get back to you

So you mean if C1E is turned on this is wrong huh?

Interesting thread guys, nice going! Some help please if possible cause I've been hitting a brick wall for the last couple of days

I had the 0902 bios and now I flashed to 1303

Here are the...

Ok man, thanks a lot! I will be ordering this kit and posting results when I receive it. DDR1000 with the lowest voltage possible is my goal. Timmings are very secondary.

OS will be Windows 2008...

Tony you mean this one?

Part number OCZ2P8008GQ

I'll also stick to 5-5-5-18 timmings for 24/7...

Just got one of these Mars P35 boards myself. I'm thinking on going with 8GB of Ram set to 1000fsb.

Tony, please recommend some of the OCZ Ram that you know for sure that works in a 8gb setup. I'm...

This thing is pure overkill. Besides it would kill any chance of good airflow in your case

I think i dont have to point out that this thing doesnt fit in a Midi Case :P

Water is better than...

yes, he did johny bravo's mod. He used a variable resistor of 1kohm set to 680ohms at the beggining and then he started lowering the resistance value of the trimer until it was stable. He doesnt know...
