I am having major problems with my Striker II Extreme concerning memory.
It seems that I can not get this motherboard stable at around FSB 1600 (1602/1598) with my 2x2 GB OCZ Platinum EB 1600 (OCZ3P1600EB4GK).
I found settings at stock CPU speed, linked, sync, FSB 1602 that would pass Memtest86+ for 2 passes but testing with 32M SuperPi /mod1.5 XS almost immediately result in error.
My CPU runs fine (SuperPi 32M for now) at 3660 MHz just by setting the multi to 11 and auto FSB clock mode. Running at stock CPU speed with 7.5 multi, linked, sync, FSB 1602 (and 1598) or unlinked with memory at 1333 and fsb 1602/1598 is not possible to get stable. I have tried to tweak all voltage settings, primary and subtimings (always using P1 and P2 on auto and 2T and memory volt at 1.86 V), even changed all the GTL_REF, HTT speed and followed the excellent advice and experiences from you in this and other threads (especially Justifire who has mostly similar hardware to mine). I have tested with both BIOS 0511 and 0601 - same issues.
The CPU seems fine but is the motherboard og the RAM faulty? Tomorrow I can test another set of RAM equal to the ones I have now. My feeling is the MB is the problem.
Please give me some suggestions about what is going on and what to do?
