ASUS Striker II Extreme

[slim142]

Yeah D-Tek fusion v2 and a full set of ek blocks for the MB.

Put in the new X-FI TITANIUM - Premium PCIE last night, it works in the slot where the ASUS riser card goes. Sound is better than my first gen X-FI xtremegamer. BUT now the computer refuses to stay a sleep, when I get home I've gotta start messing with driver installations again. I had this all worked out with nforce 9.64 and 174.74 but now it's fubared again. So finicky this 790i stuff.

Dont forget to post some pitctures when you get everything done
So hows the pump, rad and reservoir? Did they get mess up because of the corrosion?

How long did your mobo RMA take? From shipment to delivery?

I sent it via USPS Priority Mail Thursday July 3 and I got it today Friday 18 via Fedex Ground 3 days. Thats 2 weeks but remember July 4 was in between.

Fedex arrived with my board today ~2 hours ago

First thing, the box looked really skinny so that made me think I got a bare board. Opened the packed and surprise the same board I had sent 2 weeks ago was sent back to me. No accessories only the board.

I have set it up real quick, put it back in my case like it was before connected my old XP (the one I was using with the S2E) and everything came up in 8-bit color. Not even vga mode, it was horrible. Downloaded 177.40 Beta and everything came back right.

Also, I have to mention that the RMA guys killed my CMOS battery!. Now I gotta go buy one because I have to press F1 when I turn on the computer and I cant even test OC because of CMOS Checksum Error lol.

At least the board is working like it should, no problems so far. Will be testing OC and SLI as soon as I get this battery replaced ~2 hours.

I flushed the rad with Acetone for 24 hours. I think she's clean. The pump only had a light coating on it, I used a q-tip and rubbing alcohol to clean it...should be ok I hope.

Worry not there will be pictures but it won't be this weekend, this day is done and I have no package. It'll have to wait until monday.
