ASUS Striker II Extreme

[sesion]

Are there any known compatiblity issues with Corsair (2x 2GB @ 1333) TW3X4G1333C9DHX on Striker II? Any special settings required to run it stable at 1333? (A friend of mine recently bought a new rig based on Striker II and he's getting bluescreens)

[QUOTE=slim142;3156088]Thanks tek, but I have decided I will RMA my kit and save money for a European company that sells kick-ass memory. I wont buy cheap memory from now on.


Hey Slim142

try here

it is based in ireland but does ship internationally

i got cellshocks 1866's from there - see my signature

Any of you able to exceed 1800 MHZ on your memory? It seems that I'm unable to get past about 1825 linked and synced.

You are lucky I can't get past 1800MHz!! This is probably about the limit for a Quad Core. You should be able to get higher on the memory if you unlink. I got to 1800/2000 on mine.

Hey thanks! Those cell shock seem really nice.

Any Striker II with an overclocked Quad-Core will limit the memory. Like Tyke said, you are lucky to have 1800mhz+ linked.
Only solution to see if you can run higher linked speeds is to increase the SPP voltage as it gets a hell lot more stressed under high speed conditions.

Im glad to see your at that wall as well, makes me feel like I might be doing somthing right. I'll try unlinking tonight and see what happens. You usually run everest to check memory read/write speed? I dont really know what to do to benchmark RAM, I dont think I would see better 3d scores. I did run Memtest last night for 9 hours and had over 12 passes ( cant remember exact number) with 0 errors 1800 linked synced at 7-7-6-20 1T 2.16 Volts

I feel like things are finally coming together for this board.

Had a bad experience with OCZ on this board, will be really interested in how you get on. Good luck.

I have the 2 x 1G version of this (OCZ3P20002GK) can I couldn't go beyond 1700 MHz, any higher and it would suffer from random crashes when playing games or movies.

[slim142]

Did anybody experience that the Striker II kills/degrades RAM? I just want to know this since Im still thinking what could have degraded my RAM...

Also, can the constant overvolt and drop on vdimm degrade or affect the ram in any way?

[razzer]

I have not noticed anything like that with my Patriot Memory. Have had it for about a year now with this set up and it still tests fine.

[Trigger5521]

Almost done... had enough left over regular fittings to get it together for now.

Plumbing is tricky when you WC the whole board

[sargatanas]

well that's true, isn't that easy to mount the gpu after plumbing

I decided to unlink tonight, FSB is at 1800 and my memory is at 2000. Everything is stable 7-7-6-20 1T , but I'm really not noticing a performance difference at all. Where would I see performance gains (or losses) Superpi is exactly the same, Everest memory benchmarks show no difference either.

I use Everest to check memory performance. My experience is that memory at 1800MHz at Cas8 timings is faster than Cas9 at 200MHz, so I think 2000MHz memory is a waste of time until the timings improve. What you really want is a good 4GB 1600MHz kit that will run 1800MHz at Cas7 - I saw a review of this memory that appears to do just that:
http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum...it-review.html
As you can see he gets this to over 1800MHz at Cas7, my Corsair kit will only do Cas8 at this speed.
Unfortunately Mushkin memory is pretty rare in the UK.

I had the same feeling with my OCZ Flex II DDR2000's, & now they are being cross-ship-RMA'd.. I'll be receiving a kit that's been pre-tested on a S2Etxr.

Really hope this board doesn't have simular ram-issue's as the 680i's..

Now that's what I call an elegant water-cooling solution:

Agreed
That one will be mine.... oh and Tyke thanks for the link.

Looks awesome but note this is for the 790i(evga or XFX) reference board. Don't think it'll work on the striker II extreme.

Yes I know otherwise one would be winging its way to me as we speak!!

The lettering on the block is upside down when the computer is standing upright. otherwise it looks killer.

[Justifire]

Thats a nice block !
Finally someone with some brains came up on on this this
Good way for tri-sli :thumbs:
Now all we need is this for SIIE, wich will be a huge block.
Ooooh and Delrin, off course !!

[sargatanas]

and ek ofc....

Yes that would be great. Finally got my Feser Quad Rad this morning, so my tri-sli will be up and running soon.

Best is to run 1800 @ Cas 7 or 8 like Tyke said, unless you can run your memory higher than 2000 @ Cas 8.

I know, thats why I hate the overvolt & drop of vdimm. Im going to be getting some good memory from Europe once I save some money and I really wouldnt like it to just die.

If they come up with an universal block, it would be awesome.

Yes that would be great. Finally got my Feser Quad Rad this morning, so my tri-sli will be up and running soon.

Mines should be traveling over the Atlantic or maybe already here

Please post of pic of that setup would ya Tyke.

Did you guys see bitspower 790i reference solution?
