**Official ASUS Striker II Formula Discussion/Review/Overclock/Guide/BIOS Thread**

[קñåkê×]

hi all, I have the striker II formula, with a Q9450 C1, and bios 1305, on this motherboard but you can't overclocking well, to remain stable at 3200 MHz, need a vcore around 1.25v, with a VTT of 1.4v from bios that become real about 1.31v, and must also be enabled Loadline Calibration, what I wanted to know, it is a safe VTT of 1.4 ---> 1.31v, with the loadline calibration enable, to keep the PC on 24/7?


sorry for my horrible English lol but I'm Italian

Welcome to the forum/thread snake, srry cant help you

Well, I'm still on the new 1305 bios and guess what... the video corruption happened... I don't get it, it seemed like it was fixed up until 10 minutes ago... damn what a bummer...

Are you serious? Did you make sure your OC is stable with the new BIOS?

This makes me wonder if this is why 790i still doesnt have a fix...

i get the screen currption with 1305 but not with 1303 and its fine @4.4ghz but not @4.5 NB or SB craps out

[Garrett]

It's not the OC... I know that for sure... but I also know this sucks a lot
EvoCarlos what exactly do you mean that the NB or the SB craps out... I mean what happens that you draw that conclusion?

[EvoCarlos]

well it will boot @ 4.5 but with in a few mins i get black dash's doted over the screen but not at 4.4 i have tryed for hours incresing and decreasing setting with no improvment the cpu is fine @ 4.5 but the mobo is the problem the mem is fine up to 600mhz 2.2v its @ 500mhz the gfx cards are fine i have try 4 diffrent vertions of nvid drivers but it just seams that ether the SB or NB dont like 2000mhz or unless its vista? my be when i put the pc back together ill try xp

[CBird28]

strange because 1305 sorted it for me, you sure its the same bug

[EvoCarlos]

yeah 1305 really ballz'd up the mobo it was great on 1303 went to 1305 and it seams worse but ill have another go when i have finshed making my water blocks for mobo and rebuild the vapochill i also noice'd the capastiors on the back of the cpu were tarnished from condonsation but should be ok now i cleand them up lol

it must be somthig to do with the pci-x interface can't see what else it would be

[slim142]

Just when I thought nvidia had finally fixed this at least on 780i

Those voltages are fine.

[Suphlar]

Just thought I'd mention, I've been following a few threads and seen a few people mention that the 1305 doesn't fix the video corruption. I upgraded to 1305, and the day after got the corruption again. Seems to work for some but not others. Either that or they just haven't experienced it yet.

[Kevin1970]

Got my new board today. It's working all fine so far. I added a fan to the chipset and 2 pci slot exhaust fans to help cool this beast. So far so good. The temps seem decent

CPU 39C
MB 26C
NB 53
SB 47

RIGHT AFTER RUNNING CRYSIS
CPU 41
MB 27
NB 57
SB 49

Got the memory running at 800mhz so far. timings 4-4-4-15-2 latency is 62 which i feel should be lower. how do i get it lower??
Read 8422
Write 6933
Copy 6159
Don't know how good those are or how to make them better. I want reliabiliy more then anything.

Stock settings for e8400. I believe i have a good working board this time, and so far. Also got the 1305 bios installed. We shall see if i get video corruption this time. I hope not. Thanks to all for help with bios settings and stuff. I will let you know how it goes.

[Hor$eman]

Good luck Kevin, happy to see you are finally up and running.

[MadDog]

Just a quick question, as i havent really had a look, but is there a option in the bios to turn the blue backlight off on the LCD poster? Because its getting annoying that when my PC is off the room is lit up blue at night :P

[Hor$eman]

Yes, I think its in Boot options

[hmetro24]

i am having a problem , my windows take like 30 sec to start working ,all services , programs load but when i run everest it took like 15 sec to load
before it took no time to start working,
stock and oc is the same

I think is called ROG Backlight, is in the Onboard configuration section.

[Maffer]

Hmmhm, Single GTX 280 delivers big time! It's giving me much better experience than 8800GTX SLI and scores at least the same in every game I have. The ROG light btw isn't blue, it's the SupremeFX thing which shines in blue. I stuffed bluetack on the led to fix that.

[EvoCarlos]

lcd poster
is in the boot tab
and under boot settings confuigeration i think lol cant check mobo is on the desk till i fix up my vapo

[Anemic]

Hi guys! Is this board stable yet with the new BIOS? I read that many people has problems with the hot NB. Im thinking about upgrading from my 680i to the ASUS SIIF board. My Q6600 wont OC past 3.3 Ghz at all with my current board

i get the screen currption with 1305 but not with 1303 and its fine @4.4ghz but not @4.5 NB or SB craps out

WOW, thats a REALLY good OC! What are you using for cooling? Pictures?!?

[securedigital]

Hi all!!

So, i have upgraded mi BIOS to 1305, and my OC problems still remain.
It behaviours is the same.
I' have tried to up some voltages:

cpuvolt 1,35
VTT 1,30
MemVolt 2,00

Again I can't go further 2,9ghz ....
The maxium seems to hold up is 1170mhz FSB 1066Mhz ram unlinked

Maybe i'm doing something wrong....i don't kwnow
I'm wondering is it would be better to someone take some pictures about the significant config to do OC

Any help would be really aprreciated.
Thanks
PD: About 2 pages before is my original problems post
