You are right, but Im not the kind of person that mods mobos to use LN2 on them

As long as it gives me a decent OC and is not problematic with RAM Im ok

EDIT: BTW, I just read in another Pinot Noir topic that this board says ROG CONCEPT on top so there is a little chance that it might never go retail????? :S

**FELIX** · 03-13-2008, 08:21 AM

I add support for 790i in this version: MemSet35beta.exe

Eventually, report me bugs...

**funkflix** · 03-15-2008, 12:43 AM

Asus Striker II Extreme aviable now in most german shops, but > 300€ for a motherboard is crazy..

Let's wait and see if price drops and the retail ones will clock as good as all the samples we see around here on xs.

Which other manufactures announced a 790i board? Can only find the Asus at the moment.

**webwilli** · 03-15-2008, 11:02 AM

one Asus Striker II Extreme is ordered.

my first nvidia-board ever. i hope it works well.

**slim142** · 03-15-2008, 02:51 PM

Where did you guys ordered from?

**Hyperhorn** · 03-15-2008, 02:58 PM

@slim142: available @ three German shops: http://www.heise.de/preisvergleich/a311092.html
But I guess no shipping to the US...

**cognoscenti** · 03-15-2008, 03:31 PM

**Lu(ky** · 03-15-2008, 03:46 PM

cognoscenti are you getting one of these boards?

**slim142** · 03-16-2008, 09:15 AM

I might be getting one of these. What bothers me is that the board Pinot Noir looks so nice but no info about it ANYwhere.

Guess Ill go Striker II

talkign about DDR3 ram which one is a good clocker in the medium price range ? I heard good stuff about Corsairs clocking to almost 2000mhz...

I am wondering what my Crucial sticks will do with this board when it comes out on Tuesday here is California...

I see a dreadnought board in my future... hopefully they will come out relatively soon after initial release

**Digital Dero** · 03-16-2008, 11:48 PM

hard to justify the upgrade, even if i get areal CPU.

**slim142** · 03-17-2008, 12:28 PM

Can anybody confirm at what time (around) is newegg going to post on their site the Striker II extreme? Or usually at what time do they post new items?

Too bad op is banned I wanna hear more about this board..

**Lu(ky** · 03-17-2008, 06:16 PM

Hey all of you current Striker II Extreme owners. Did anyone clean the N/S Chipset areas with AS5 or MX-2? I am wondering if it is needed with this board?

**tet5uo** · 03-17-2008, 07:13 PM

Did the OP get banned for releasing benches too early?

The girl in his sig is hot...

Depending on how much my local stores will charge on this Striker I may wait tell I see some benches on the eVGA as well before I spend my dough...

I still don't see them anywhere, you figure it's 1:15 am there should be something, right?
