ASUS Striker II Extreme

[Justifire]

OK
Tested mem with vista memory test utility (some guy from ocz on a forum advices to use this instead of memtest)
No errors found.
I think it's time for me to say : Fcuk Memtest !
Altough it served me for years, at the moment it just doesnt seem to work as it should be.
Going to test further with prime and vista mem tool

[toyzruz]

no errors with vista mem tool ... but errors with memtest, right?

[Warboy]

Well, I keep having lock ups at desktop. I can run prime95, and OCCT all i want and be stable, But let it idle at desktop for a few hours and it locks up. I'm confused.

[TheHardCase]

Sorry, never mind I see it was 0704 in your BIOS

Did you use AWFlash or the EZ BIOS thingy (can't remember the name ) in the BIOS?

Try EZ Bios, but I flash using USB works 100%

[Fusion2002]

At the moment 4450 mhz @ vcore 1.4750v (1.52v in bios) vtt 1.6 pll 1.6 prime stabil (468x9.5 or 445x10, both ok)
Didnt try GTL_REF yet, first want to get my ram at max speeds.
Am planning to lower the PLL and VTT when i'm settled at max speeds.
Till i'm finished testing i dont want those to be the limiting factor.

That makes me feel a lot better looking at your Vcore... I was worried somthing was wrong, I have to push 1.35 just to get stable at 3.6 ghz so I guess I'm not alone with the high Vcore. You think 1.5 is safe (on water) for a 24/7 setup?

[Trigger5521]

First, I just want to say

Anway here are the settings I used. Hopefully other people will find them useful...

CPU multiplier = 9.0
FSB = 1777 (444 x 4)
RAM Link and Sync
RAM = 8-7-7-23-2T (rest in Auto)
CPU V = 1.3625v
CPU PLL v = 1.45v
CPU VTT v = 1.36v
Memory v = 1.92v
NB Core v = 1.46v
SB Core v = 1.60v
CPU GTL_Ref0 Ratio = +42mv
Ref 1 = +39mv
Ref 2 = +39mv
Ref 3 = +42mv

All other settings in Auto.

I tried every way from Sunday to get 1777 based off of these setting(thx for posting). It's just not happening for me, I'm pretty certian it's not my CPU x3350 because I can run it unlinked at 1802. I think my OCZ sticks are not as capable as yours. Most of the attempts actually crash memtest or cause it to reboot..not actual memory errors. Weird.
Back to 1702 linked and synced for now...I hope the next BIOS helps me.

I had errors when I used OCZ (2000MHz rated) memory often with Test 8, no errors with Corsair. Either OCZ don't like Memtest, or OCZ don't like S2E!!!

I think it's time for me to say : Fcuk Memtest!

I had pretty much exactly the same issues when I used memtest 3.4 while trying to find the cause of my problems with an Asus P5E3 Premium Wifi...

Try doing a search on memtest 3.4 errors on google. It seems this version of memtest can show errors on perfectly good ram, I think the generally accepted version is 2.1. There's some history of two different versions by different people if you don't mind trawling enough to find it.

Bottom line... Never trust memtest 3.4. 2.1 on the other hand seems to be trustworthy.

I think it's safe yes.
My motto is: As long as it runs, it's OK
Have had my E6600 for 1 1/2 year running on 1.6v, where everyone says it's dangerous, the thing still runs like a charm.
Just watch the temps.

[Fusion2002]

Ill start creeping up the voltages and see what happens. what kind temps are you getting (with core temp if you use it) at 4450?

Niice! Finally the battle we were all waiting for!

This makes me REALLY (you dont know how much) happy

At least Jensen and the rest of Nvidia are not sitting and waiting for mercy; they are all locked and loaded for the biggest fight of their careers.

Sounds to me that Intel can't get there own way.
Good for you Nvidia stand up & hold you're head up high.

Now NVIDIA's next-generation GPU is just about the worst kept secret in the industry, and to that extent there's been plenty of speculation on the features and size of such a GPU. 1.2 billion transistors is consistent (if not a tad higher) than what rumors have been floating about so the size doesn't come as much of a surprise, but we are surprised that NVIDIA would publish such a fact for a product that doesn't exist yet. None the less, of all the rumors we can at least lay those about the transistor count to rest: NVIDIA's next generation high-end GPU will have around 1.2 billion transistors, and that's right from the horse's mouth.

Intel is very worried about not having Sli...

[slim142]

Without NVIDIA they wouldnt have such high sell rates. Many buy them to pair with 680/750/780/790. Also, Intel is in the top 3dMark ORB because of SLI.

However... now whats next? I really want to see whats going to happen with both of this companies in the next few months

[Trigger5521]

Prime95 ran through 2 full tests, SFC /scannow ok, Memtest86+ 2.01 froze on me..no actual mem errors it just quit working. I have been having some issues with it so until this setup gives me any other reason to think it's not stable I'm going to ignore memtest. Note CPU and fusion block are on water, RAM is air cooled.

I had the same problem with memtest86 v2.01, I had to adjust timmings to stop freezing.
This also made system 100% rock stable.

[tekjunkie]

With what I have seen with S2E, Memtest freezing usually means you need more juice for the SPP and/or relax your timings.

[Trigger5521]

I'll try more juice first... if not I'll relax. Lol sounds like a regular weekend.

[goal]

i have a new pc,but i have some problems too.
my pc's parts are:
mb:extreme striker II
pcu:q9300 quad core penryn@2.5
graphics cards:2x8800gtx 768mb
ram:gskill 1333mhz 2gb
os:xp sp2

The problems are in the software.
i tried to connect to the internet with a usb 56k modem for a while and it freezed.Every time now i put the mouse on the icon of this connection for a sec it freezes again and i have to reboot.
an other problem is that i can't install photoshop cs3, when on my old pc i could.lol!!!!!
i can't install autocad 2008 but i can 2009.crazy.
when i run 3dmark06,after it finishes, the start menu can't open.
i have done bios updates in versions 0402,0511,0602,0701,0703 but no difference.
any ideas??????please.

[slim142]

goal make sure your ram is working 100%
run them at stock timings and stock voltages, everything else on auto
disable SLI

try 0704 and see what happens

[goal]

i already have done this and ram works perfectly.i will try 0704 and let you know tomorrow.

Time for Nvidia to start making cpu's...

That would be a disaster they can't even make a functioning motherboard how in the world could they make a CPU???

Was going to say thesame. Nvidia, keep making graphiccards, you are wonderful in that part. Motherboardchipset, well, not so good from my point of view, and I have had several so I should know

[goal]

try 0704 and see what happens[/QUOTE]

man it realy works.I can't believe it.Thanks a lot i was going to give it up.
