Striker pwns EVGA with Q6600 G0

[Dudeguy]

anybody ran into the "cmos error" LCD debug message, and i?f so what's the cure

hummm never saw that.... my guess would be you have a corrupt CMOS...
try to flash it again (if you can go up to that )

hi people,
i have been reading through this forum for over two weeks now, waiting for some info that will help me get passed 3 ghz. i have read every post and tried every thing in every post , but i cant get past 3ghz.

can somebody please take a look at my bios setting and see if you can help.
this is really screwing my head up.

i would love to get to 3.4 stable for now. 3.6 would be a bonus but i could live with 3.4.

my bios is 1303

@XS!

I agree with all of your settings, but I think you should definitely increase your Processor and Memory voltage. I wrote down my suggestions, but maybe someone with a quad can recommend a Vcore as I'm not so familiar with them.

[didineedthis]

thanks for your suggestions i , have upped all my voltages at some point,
but i still cant get it to go past the 3gh ,

i did get it to 3.2 but i could not get it stable and when i rebooted the pc froze and i lost all my settings, and did'nt get chance to write them down.

this board is a nightmare.

will i be better off takeing two ram out of the pc and try with just 2 instead of the 4 i have at the moment?

Yes, only 2 gigs of RAM will make it easier, as 4GB and Quad stress the Northbridge very much.
And I agree with Leeghoofd, you should get better cooling for your processor.
Do you have a fan over your Northbridge, if not, you should get one because the NB is getting really really hot!

Best of luck on 2000FSB with a Quad, I cant get with a Dual, 1900FSB is max, but acts up sometimes with 2GB or 4GB of Memory.

Dont know WTF lamers Asus are playing at but they have a bios 1401, its not on site or FTP but they gave it to a peep today by mail who had issues with new OCZ Reaper X 4GB Kit.

He has just 15mins ago loaded it up and says his Ram is now working inc SPD and is going to mail the bios to me.
