BTW, Seems a few people in this forum are rubbising the board before they have tried out all of the options. I have a DFI Expert and that took A LOT of tweaking before I could even install the OS at stock speeds. Brilliant board once you got your memory timings and voltages worked out though... Keep persisting
This board has all kinds of potential. My issue is the bios. Asus has already had two bios updates on the Striker Extreme since this BETA 0602 bios came out. It's rather clear to me that Asus could care less about these lower tier boards. It's are real shame since one would think this board can really do well with a better bios. My board right now has so many holes in the memory clocks with the 9 multi it ain't funny.
