**Official ASUS Striker II Formula Discussion/Review/Overclock/Guide/BIOS Thread**

Hmm.. not sure, The0men.. I'm running an OC'd Q9550. I do get lockups in 3D games every once in a while, but never blue screen. There are others in this thread that are running that CPU too.

[sixty9sublime]

Finally got the hang of my s2f paired with an e6750. Don't think I have one of the lucky boards that would reach 475FSB, seems like 460 is the max I was able to push but concerning stability I decided to stay put at 450 despite the sub par memory performance.

Anyhoo...CPUv at 1.472, NB at 1.5(working on bringing this down next), SB 1.6, VTT 1.39, etc.

Glad to have seen this post !! I wanted to buy the aquacomputer north/southbridge waterblock, but I don't wanna cut my GTX 275 !!!!! Thank you guy for posted it ! Could you post photos of your watercooled Striker ??

Hi, I have a Q6600 G0 lapped on Swiftech GTZ @ 3.825Ghz with 1.52v, but like most people I want more. Which would be the better option a Q9650 E0 (AUD$430) or a
QX9650 C0 (AUD$580-$1000)? The Q9650 would be cheaper and cooler but will the NB be able to do 450MHz. NB is currently 425MHz with 1.56volts. 4GHz is the target.

Was planning on scoring the aquacomputer block as well.. but then Ive been hearing significant drops in pressure with the block so I just opted for an EK NB and SB.. only problem with this is you have to have a single slot card, or use the other PCI-Ex slot.



E6850 running @ 3.96ghz for 2 years.. now degraded to 3.9ghz. Also sold my other GTX260 to pay some bills lol.

[Cyril06]

Thanks Thakkerson for the tip...

I plan to buy Anfi-Tec waterblock : http://shop.anfi-tec.de/

Northbridge :


Southbridge :


Mosfet :


I think the southbridge allow to have 2 double slot graphic cards. And they have a beautiful CPU WB :



Is someone here bought Anfi-Tec WB for the striker ???

I'ld appreciate some help to get my rig (QX9650) stable at 4.3 Ghz or more when possible.
My settings are:

Bios 2201

Vcore: 1.57250 in bios (1.47 cpu.-z)
pll: 1.52
vtt: 1.28
mem: 2.10
nb: 1.50
sb: 1.60
ht: 1.20
bridge: 1.20

the other settings like fsb+mem and timing are all on auto. Multiplier is 13.
temperature are in idle: 39, 46, 43, 40 (core temp) system is complete watercooled.

I can boot in windows and the system seem to be stable but games like ghost recon crash after some minutes or the network connenction got lost and I've to disable and enable the network adapter to reconnect.

What should I do? raise the vcore a notch more or what?

thanks

[pulsar21]

Anyone run into a problem where when you shut down or restart, the computer goes through the normal shutdown/restart sequence, but right when it should powerdown/reset it just stays there.. powered on, but unresponsive? I always have to press and hold the power button to force it off... even on simple reboots. I updated the BIOS a half year ago, yet it just started happening recently. I wonder if it's related to the PSU or the freaky UPS.

[Simulated-AI]

I need settings for my Q9550 Striker II Formula.

I run on "CPU LEVEL UP" crazy settings, which gives me 3.49Ghz

I would like to take it further, any surgestions?
I tried some manual settings, but seems like i get it wrong.

Thanks.

Hi guys, does anyone else have this board?

[gejmer]

My Asus Striker II Formula is not working. LCD poster display shows "code init".

NF200 chip is cold, it not warming. I tried reflow with hot air gun, but it didn't help.

What to do next? Reflow north bridge?
