I just put my new box together, including the Striker II. Just about to try and post for the first time with it. I'll be trying to over clock it just for stable 24/7 use - don't want to break any records, and I'm a bit of a nubie when it comes to OCing. Going over this thread has been very useful for me - thanks to all who contributed!
System:
Asus Striker II Formula
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 - Retail
Tuniq Tower 120 CPU Cooler
8GB (4x2GB) Corsair TwinX DDR2 PC2-8500 (1066MHz CAS 5-5-5-15)
BFG GeForce 9800 GTX 512MB GDDR3
Seagate 250GB Hard Drive SATAII 7200RPM 16MB Cache (x2 in RAID 0 array)
Maxtor 500GB Hard Drive SATAII 7200rpm 32MB Cache
Icy Box IB-138SK-B 3.5" SATA HDD Caddy
Pioneer DVR-115D 20x DVD Writer
Tagan TG800-U33 800W 2-Force II Series PSU
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit
I'm still waiting for the 1066MHz RAM, so I've got 2x2GB 800MHz in there till it arrives.
Has anyone used the audio card that came with the board? If so, how does it compare to other cards eg. creative sound blasters?
Vladmax - I may try polishing the heat pipes if my temps are high. One question if I may - How did you remove/re-fit the clips that hold the pipes to the board?
