ASUS Striker II Extreme

[my87csx481]

#Roger_D25 Thank you for the settings. I found out that my Corsair memory is not stable at the rated 1600 MHz (unlinked with FSB 1333 and default multi). I could not pass Prime95 or OCCT RAM tests at 1540 neither synked/linked or unlinked with FSB + MEM 1540. I do not longer believe all the memory I buy is faulty. I will thoroughly Memtest at stock settings (1333) and RMA this motherboard. I have played with the GTL_REF0+1 settings without luck. The errors I get are memory related since I can pass CPU intensive tests but not memory intensive tests.

I'm having the same problems with OCZ 1600EB 2 x 2. For the longest time I could not get 'em to run at stock speeds and timings....I'm on my third kit. I finally got 'em to memtest last night at 1600 7-6-6-24-2t for 4 passes....but with 1800 QDR with the following settings (0603 BIOS):

(Thanks Roger, I'm stealin' your settings format.)

All Spread Spectrum Settings: Disabled

All settings are what I set in BIOS. Board overvolts Vcore and RAM....I still have to check NB and SB legs.

I previously tested with everything at stock except with memory timings, ram and NB voltage as above and it fails prime95 and OCCT. If I run CPU intensive tasks (OCCT CPU, Prime95 small fft's) = no problems. I have yet to test the above settings in windows/OCCT/Prime95....later today hopefully. I have a 2 x 1 1800 kit I need to test at stock settings as well.

Edit: Prime95 blend failed almost instantly. Don't use my settings. /Edit
