ASUS Striker II Extreme

[Justifire]

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

really nice board

but with bios 0402.

if anyone find bios 0507 or 0504 please contact me.

thanks.

thanks.

Let us know the results

[dinos22]

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??

[webwilli]

Let us know the results

later... later... i´m a n00b @ nvidia-chipset...
i must have time for tests and need a new bios.

Here is the Bios

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

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

[Justifire]

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

Let the games begin

Nope even on 780i it works fine...

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

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?

[Phil The Greek]

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



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

[webwilli]

really crazy

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

[elmor]

CPU PLL = 1.6V
CPU VTT = 1.6V
NB Core = 1.7V
SB Core = 1.6V

[Lu(ky]

CPU VTT = 1.6V
NB Core = 1.7V
SB Core = 1.6V

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

[elmor]

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?

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



edit: typo

[dinos22]

sorry elmor

i didn't see your 32M SuperPi post there

superpi looks good to me hehe

[Leeghoofd]

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

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...

[Borgod]

blah blah blah

Find the right thread to begin with.

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

CPU VTT = FSB Termination Voltage.
