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.
A trend forming anyone?

On another subject I have flashed my EVGA 790i with the P03R2 BIOS, and the memory performance is on par with the ASUS S2E!!!
However the BIOS will not post with FSB past 425Mhz when restarting the system (including after save setting & exit BIOS menu), only boots from power off. Very strange...

Oh well can't complain too much I guess

Now just the droop mod...
