ASUS Striker II Extreme

[owcraftsman]

First off let me say thanks to all the contributors here in this thread. It's been very helpful in achieving my goal. As you can see I don't post often but I'm a frequent visitor. I typically have lots of question like many but thankfully I've found most of my answers through search. Beside that, ones post counts doesn't always reflect a contributors worthiness anyways. So take the following with a grain of salt. All I'd like to accomplish is helping someone else out who is searching for the same answers we all are. I find bios setting the most helpful and wanted to contribute my 2 cents worth. Pay back so to speak. So, I Hope this helps somebody. At least it's a starting point for someone with similar specs.
Again, Thanks to All!

I still have some tweaking I want to do ie: tRRD & tWR and my goal really is 1800-2000 L&S in the 4.0GHz+ range but heat and voltage requirements has been a limiting factor as I suspect, so goes with most us.
