1600x11=4400Mhz , 1.43v was not stable

1600x10.5=4200Mhz , 1.41v is stable I think ... I hope...


EDIT:
1.5 h Orhtos pass

What BIOS are you using? And what are your settings besides vcore to get 1600 stable? I'm on 1401 for now but I've not tried FSB OC with it yet (doing 333x11.5 right now).

looked through most the posts,
Hows the QX9650 do on this board 4.2Ghz pretty easy on water?

[seba84_2005]

USFORCES@ nice rig original also have top from the graphic card put together with the water block

So my GSkill are working but i am wondering something. Directions said 5-5-5-15 for 1066mhz. yet everest adds 2 other options, TRC-48t, TWR-13. Would it be a good idea to put these in, the board has them running at a fast speed, but maybe that's not a great idea.

have I to you the question, the animation bios works you?
there is about the name STRIKER2.gif with the log ROG the file gif after unpacking bios but the animation does not work while starting the computer

DO anyone know whats the new thing in 1501,
Does it change any thing.......
enlighten me plz..

[Dunderhoken]

EEEEH why does it say Striker II EXTREME BIOS 1501 ??????????????????

LOL it's just a typo. I have installed it and it works OK.

[71 (Bryan)]

GOd not again, help mepls, my board wont post again, it says "code init" on the lcd but wont post,what should i do, im going crazy with this board

[71 (Bryan)]

fixed, one of the ram was partially out of its socket, put it back in no prob no more

[Kevin1970]

Had a issue today. There was some irratic mouse movement. I have a new Microsoft Laser Mouse and it said there was a signal strength issue. Yet when i open mouse control panel the battery and signal strength are fine. I'm thinking either there is a issue with the compatability of the mouse or just some random issue. The issue seems to have gone away for now.

[Marios]

I have uninstalled the drivers.

its never been animated on my s2f since day one and all the bios ive try'd dont think it is only the s2e is what i thought..

I write to ASUS and they copied that he works act, and as I write that he however does not work I did not get the answer
I do not know supposedly there is the animated logo but he does not work

ASUS Striker II Formula /780i/ BIOS build 1601

Ehh Some info Please ?

[holystarlight]

ASUS Striker II Formula /780i/ BIOS build 1601

Sweet stuff, any idea what has been changed in this bios?

[pmp]

Updated uCodes to add E0/M0 steppings, improved compatibility with EAH3870X2, improved C1/SpeedStep thermal policy behaviours and many minor changes as well.

Bios 1601 - loaded fine

Now Q6600 @ 3.7ghz - temps 42 deg - up to low 50's 3 dmark 06

CPU 1.375V

Mem 2.1v

cpu gtl +30

nb gtl +30

Seems ok to me : )

[molotov]

1601 beta released? Great! Thanks PMP~

I experienced some strange behaviour when using 1501:
Unlike 1305->1401 (getting better in oc), previous oc trial's combination of voltages did not work, meaning stepping backwards.
Also when the oc does not post, it reboot, right? But 1501 gave me un-predicted behaviour after failure of post. Sometimes back to previous settings of successful post (e.g. 400Mhz x 9 = 3.6G at E8400), but sometimes it put me back to 3.0G stock speed. It's kinda strange for me.

Hope 1601 works great with oc'ing!~~~~

Hi guys,

I have small problem with packing up everything in Striker II Formula.

Since today there are 2x8800GTX and... PICE Abit wireless card

Normally Abit is sitting in second blue PCIE slot where second 8800GTX should be.


I have checked the SLI but when I put wireless card into middle ( white ) pcie slot - it doesn't work

Anyone knows how to enable this middle pcie slot?

Diode is not blinking seems there is no power running to the card.

Any experiences with this slot?

hi guys, i got a question for you just got a striker ii formula a few weeks ago and i've been having fun OC'ing my E8400 (and my two 8800GT's in SLI). i'm a bit worried though about my Vcore voltage. i haven't done any volt mods or anything but it shows up as over 1.8V (sometimes near 1.9V!), and my 3.3V voltage shows as around 3.9V. temperatures and stability is fine, and i'm just using stock fan to get it to 3.74GHz (from 3GHz). now, what i'm thinking is, that the voltage reported is erroneous. how likely is it that a bunch of the sensors on the motherboard are broken? or is there probably really 1.9V on my cores?

temperatures never exceed 75 under full 2h orthos load, and it never errors out then either. hope you guys can give me some of your insights i should probably mention that Vcore voltage shows as very high when the E8400 isn't even overclocked either. (at stock speed it shows as about 1.8V also)

I highly doubt the sensors are wrong. What programs did you use to measure.

Also the voltage can be erratic if you dont manually set it accordingly,
and seing that you are getting up to 75c at a mere 3.74ghz I'd say it is indeed your voltage increasing.

Cease and Desist immediatly. Unless you know the dangers, understand electromigration, and the effects of heat and want damage to occure then you seriously want to get that voltage to a safe level, no chip, not even 65nm should have 1.8v put into unless strictly for benching and with adequate (extreme) cooling.
You may be lucky and find it is the program your using, not made after the e8400, then
find another program, and you are good to go. But if you are unlucky, then you may be in danger of
damaging your chip

Read guides if your not familiar with overclocking.

The board has loads of quirks/qualms and strange things happen with these nvidia chipsets, which is why it would not surprise me that your Vcore is being incorrectly adjusted as you overclock if it is still set to auto.

first of all, thanks for the quick reply.

i measured it with all programs i can think of. cpuid hwmonitor, speedfan, everest etc... all latest version.

i have now set my fsb to 1333 again (stock), and manually set vcore voltage in bios to 1.15V and it booted fine, yet, all these programs now show my Vcore voltage to be around 1.65 (which i'm pretty sure it has been since i got it from the shop). any idea how that can be?

it may be worth mentioning that the 3.3V voltage is not reported by EVEREST nor by HWMonitor, is reported by speedfan as 0.0 (which must mean it can't get the value?) and shows in the bios as 3.9V... this lead me to believe at least that sensor is faulty, since apparently EVEREST and speedfan have problems with it... but then again, i may be wrong.

ps. wolfdale is 45nm.
