I still like my STRIIEXOriginally Posted by saaya
I found two FSB Holes (400 + 475) thats right. No other issues yet. My cellshock RAM works very well on the STRIIEX. No Problems.
But i still have only a crap E6600 and no SLI.
Don´t forget: i´m completely nvidia-n00b... only use intel-boards before. I must learn a lot.
Next week i get two 9800GTX i hope. No E8500 is availableShould i buy the E8200? I don´t know...
i wouldnt get an 8200, some people received duds that didnt really clock well at all, plus the low multi... id say go for an 8400 or 8500.I still like my STRIIEX

do did you manage to get the striker2 extreme stable?
completely stable at an oced speed? if yes, at what speed.
cause thats what i heard as negative about the S2E, just like the earlier striker boards its crashing randomly, for 2 days something is stable, then it wont even boot, then it boots again but crashes after a few hours, then works fine for a day again etc...
well, trd/performance level seems to have no impact on performance for nvidia chipsets... either that or its not really trd...
id say use baredit from felix88 and make register dumps at different fsb speeds and when the perf drops big time, check what registers changed and try to set one register after the other to what they were like at the lower fsb that performed better.
its annoying work, but it does work usually to improve perf notably
and actually, people with both ref and S2E, you could make dumps of both boards at the same configurations and compare them. im sure you can set the same registry settings as on S2E and gain all the perf back that the ref boards seem to be lacking compared to the S2E
thx for the infos sonofander!
so whats the max speed you got your S2E completely stable at?
if its not too bad i might give it a try as well...
but what you said is what i heard about the previous striker boards too, new bios releases and tweaking will make them stable... but i never ever managed to get any of the 3 striker boards i had entirely stable... one day it was stable for a week, then just rebooting without changing anything didnt work. after several attempts i gave up and reduced the ocs and it worked semi stable, then could oc higher again and it seemed stable again, after a few reboots, same thing again...
my conclusion was that for benching its a great board, but its too much of a pita to maintain an oc on this board... id rather have a slower slightly worse ocing board that works stable at a high oc than a slightly higher slightly faster oc that requires me to play with the settings again every few days to get it to work stable or to get it to at least boot!
cheers tony!
i received the board at 18.03.2008 and since this day the board work ROCKSSTABLE (EXTREME STABLE) with 400 MHz FSB/800 MEM 8-7-6-18 1T 1,6 Volt.
All Boardvoltages at minimum.
I play lot of games, use VMWare and Prime at the same time.
LAN + eSATA + USB at the same time. Windows XP SP2. Never use shice Vista
I never have the crashing randomly problem and the board runs 8 hrs a day. The last week 12-14 hrs a day.
400 MHz FSB is not much, but you know that my CPU is so crap.
hmmm too bad... well for it to be stable at 400fsb really isnt a big achievement
so your fsb limited at 400 already?
what cpu are you using again?
hmmmm so with 65nm chips the fsb doesnt clock that well? hmmm
with bios 0507 problems with Ocing 65nm Quads gone, this Extreme II is greatest mobo i had in last year, FSB 500MHz without touching anything in BIOS, is easy to set all to AUTO and 500MHz is fully stable with pretty low temps of chipset ... i have no watercooling connected yet, and mobo is cool only with air cooling ... great stuff here from nvidia, my new toy 3x 9800 GTX in TriSLI works great ...
FSB limit with this CPU is ~490hmmm too bad... well for it to be stable at 400fsb really isnt a big achievement
so your fsb limited at 400 already?
what cpu are you using again?
i have ordered an E8500 8 (!) Weeks ago. And i´m waiting....
wow! what shop?
cancel it and buy it somewhere else!
cool! thanks
