ASUS Striker II Extreme

Yeah, that is my setup. Problem is that after it is installed, I cannot use the 2 sticks (4GB), because it will still lock up on boot. Once I got it to run stable until I could get SP1 installed, then nothing I did would get it to boot again.



Yes, I lowered it, relaxed the timings, used other people's profiles, tried defaults, used other bios versions all the way down to 0402, and adjusted voltage on the RAM, NB, CPU, etc...

I just wish I knew if someone else has this same RAM working in this board. I'd like to know if it is worth my time to swap the RAM, or swap the board (again). Maybe I shouldn't be trying with the Asus.

I have to make good decisions if I am to swap, because the longer I take to replace things, the less likely it is that I can exchange the motherboard or ram for a different vendor.

Which RAM again, I don't remember what you listed off earlier.

If you have G.Skill 12800CL7, then I can say 2x2GB works with Vista x64. I haven't tested RAID yet, I have some vacation time coming up for that testing.

Here is where I am sitting thus far, can't push everything too hard as I am still getting the cooling setup, soon enough I'll be able to push to the FSB wall. What I listed here is the only things I have changed from Auto. Proc is a Q9450
