Alot of people are talking about how bad this board is. I'm having absolutely no problems. I am using air only with stock heat pipes. I removed heat pipes and added arctic silver to the chips, left the tape on the voltage regulators. I'm running my CPU at 4200, 1868 (467) fsb, SLI 9800GTX, (my 3rd 9800 will be here tomorrow) I've been able to do the same settings on all bios that i have tried. I play Age of Conan every night for 3-6 hours with all settings on high and haven't had a single hiccup. No blue screens, no restarts, no freezes. My point is... That i don't think the striker II formula is crap overall as a board. But i'm sure there are a few bad boards in the bunch. There always is. For those that are having problems play close attention to hot spots, this board like alot of boards need some extra help keeping cool when overclocking. If you are sure that cooling isn't an issue, maybe you do have a sub par overclocker. Get another board and try again.
