Is the 0601 for S2E still have the overvolting problems

There's a Striker II Extreme dedicated thread for these stuff.
However... I don't expect Asus to adjust ( rename to be precise ) their BIOS values to match the real ones.
Plus that there's a variance between different boards.
Are you basing your overvolting "problems" on DMM measurements or with software measurements ?

OK, so anyone else getting randon pausing in games??? if i press the window key goes back to desktop then i can switch back to the game, wierd, anyone else???

[Rholt]

Yeah actually, I've been getting some weird video hiccups. I'm not overclocked currenty- Waiting for water cooling, and I'm using the P03 bios . Hope that helps.

Is there any tool for 790i to up the FSB in windows? Can't find anything..

Is there an official s2e thread? I just can't find it.

Looks pretty good, as far as tweaking.

Thanks, but i do not like any drivers on my SuperPi-OS.

But no need for it anyway. Can boot with 562MHz, but SPi fails. With intel most time you can get some more stable MHz with windows-tools.

Well, it's a thread Elmor started in Xtreme Forum Reviews, and we're kinda using it as a dedicated S2E thread

This bios is amazing, rock solid at 450fsb, and 900mhz mem 7-7-7-24-2t 2.0v, loving it

Could you post a pic with your read/write and latencies

Do you know where i can read the VCore with a DMM on the STRIIEX?

The green spots ( could be the blue ones, I don't remember for sure, I will set up the board later and check back )

[RealTelstar]

You know i never tried P03R2 so i couldnt tell you, i can tell you P04 is amazing so far.

Try to push it to see if any corruption happens

my board is in the case

really nice if you can check the real vcore with a dmm and report it here.

Will do m8.
It's a part of my reviewing process as well, no way around it

[webwilli]

many thanks

i don´t trust Everest and Bios

Cas7 still has a bug while gaming, i turned it up to cas 8 and seemed to fix the stuttering freezing issue.

Striker II Extreme feels way better with 0601 ( still on initial testing though ).
CAS Latency 5 bug is fixed now.

For a starter a low Everest:

Hey Dinos

Do you know if 790i is able to run OC w/ 4 RAM sticks at 1T?
Also, when enabled, does P1 and P2 cause inestability with 4 Ram sticks?

My new 24/7-settings:





Can't remember when i had so much fun with a system last time. This board really rocks here! Don't know why there are so much problems. Maybe i just have a lucky board.

Will test 900MHz 7-6-5-20 1T 1,94V later. Both kits can do it alone, but don't think in this combination.

[slim142]

Aight so P1+P2 enabled works with 4 sticks and even with 1T... nice. Thx for the pic flix

[TheGoat Eater]

my Evga board just died I think (FF) and I am getting the run around from tech support (LOL) so I am Fed - trying on elat thing but i doubt it will work

I thought S2E was a 790i board and this was a thread about 790i. No???. Anyway, sarcasm aside, my overvolting "problem" was all based off of BIOS readings.
