Striker pwns EVGA with Q6600 G0

[linflas]

Bios used for quad g0 for most of us is 1301 or 1303, I use 1301.

As to the 8800GT SLI score, what drivers? the 169.25 beta's will probably be your best bet, as the cards are young, not many driver revisions support them yet.

How bad is the score? CPU clock? GPU clock? need alot more info to help with that score, whatever it may be

Score was about 14,700 or so

CPU @ 3.4 GHz

4GB RAM @ 900 MHz

GPU's are at 650HMz and 1900MHz (I think... I now the 650 is right )

And I am using the 169.25 Drivers.

I am apt to blame the drivers:

Playing Hellgate for a little bit and FPS was all over the place, from way high , to rather average.

Oh, and I was working in Maya for 5 hours, and the damn thing kept locking up on me before. Not crashing, just stops responding. Though who knows why that would be... could be the 4GB on the 680i, could be Vista, could be the 64-bit part of Vista, or could be that this is the first time I am using Maya-64-Bit, or the drivers...

Hey guys, what is generally the voltages that have to do with max stable FSB? NB? SB? I have no idea anymore heh.

I have my Q6600 now at prime stable (all tests) 4.05Ghz 450x9, but it can go much higher, I just know it. I have hardly even touched the voltage on the CPU, so I can pretty much rule that out. Besides I still can't get past POST even on 6x multi.

I have a phasecooler on my CPU, chilling at -70 to -50'ish depending on the load and how I tune it. I think withut some serious cooling, its the pure heat that will stop many people overclocking quads. The amount of heat a Q6600 with slight overvolting makes at 4.05Ghz is CRAZY! With some math I estimate like 220watts. Don't try that with the stock cooler people, you have been warned

So well, I'm having a hard time getting anything significantly past 1800, and I NEED more FSB. Can anyone help me out as to what voltages I am going to have to increasse?

Right now all mosfets, NB and SB have assistance 120mm fans, so they can handle pretty much any voltage withut any real danger I should think. Eventually they will be on high-end water.

Whats the most FSB anyone has gotten on the Striker Extreme, and does anyone know aprox the max on an A1 Evga 680i? I'm still tempted to swap to it because of that fix, especially if ti can give me more FSB headroom...
