ASUS Striker II Extreme

[Holmer]

Great job Holmer, must feel good to get it running stable (uber clocks or not)! I'm happy that you got your RAM running at 1600Mhz, especially since your running 4GB! Also thanks for posting your settings, those can be very helpful to others with similar setups who are having problem like you did! Now the most important question, what is that stock Intel cooler gonna get replaced, lol?

Thanks Roger_D25 I appreciate your sympathy. Unfortunately Memtest v. 2.01 was far from stable. I get errors in test 8 in every pass, also if I run unlinked, FSB 1333 and MEM 1600. I even tried the the overvoltage settings for unlinked, FSB 1333 and MEM 1600 I found "stabe" before upping the FSB (the same as posted in #583 exceps SB 1.5 and all GTL_REF on Auto and this resulted in Memtest errors in test 8 as well . I could not even boot into Windows after running Memtest. So far this MB seems to have exactly the same issues as the first SIIE I had and RMA'ed.
I will replace that crappy stock cooler with water on CPU and NB as soon as I am sure I'm not to RMA the MB again (right now the pain of tearing apart the w/c again is worse than the pain of running Intel stock a few days - even though it is considered as blasphemy around here LOL).

Anybody knows what Memtest test 8 errors translate to?

# Skinnee I'm sorry I can't afford the luxury of tightening the timings when I'm not stable at the rated speed and loose timings so I haven't botherd to test that.
