I used those exact settings, except i did the vdroop pencil mod so my bios is set at 1.55. for 1.54 windows/loaded

I'm playing with my Evga board for another week, if I cant get it running right in that timeframe I'm returning it and getting a Striker or IN9-32MAX. I'm used to my 975x board so this 680i board has been a nightmare. Nugzo, did you watercool the mosfets as well? Any pics? What MCP is on the striker board, 570??

570MCP on the striker, yes cooling the mosfets and NB with water. SB is air cooled. I have some pics here. not real MB detailed though.

nice.. what revision is your current striker extreme Nugzo ? made in china or taiwan ? serial number ?

Not sure eva. I'll check when i get home. I do know that the bios chip is non removable where on the earlier strikers you could just pop it out.
