nForce 790i SLI/Ultra chipset mobos - Reviews/OC/Guides

I am having a real hard time getting any kind of OC on this board. The max FSB I can do on my QX9650 is 350. Any thing over that, I cannot even run SPI 1M!!!!. Here are my parts

Striker II Extreme(0507)
QX9650(L739A732).
OCZ3P16002GK
TRUE 120 with SLFEX

I left everything on auto except for FSB linked and synced with the RAM. Sometimes if I go over 350 FSB, it gets stuck on "Code Init" and I have to do a hard reset???. Should I RMA it or is there anything else I should try. Please help. I spent so much of money and time only to get frustrated.


It runs fine with everything @ default 12 hours prime stable and 1M and 32M SPI stable. I don't think it's my RAM as I tested it with "Unlinked" with FSB @ 1333(default) and the RAM @ the rated speed(1600 @7-7-7-20 1T 1.9V) and 12 hours prime stable also no errors in Memtest.


I also forgot to mention that I am running dual raptors in Raid 0 and XP professional x32. I first installed mediashield and tried reformatting and reinstall of XP without the mediashield.
