ASUS Striker II Extreme

Quick question.

Just switched to a Q9650, upped vcore alittle, and started prime95,

failure is in the form of reboot. no red individual core failures, just reboot.

Has anyone run into this and how did you solve it.

Very strange and repetable.

I've ran into that before, It was either NB or VTT voltage that was the issue.

Usually its VTT or vcore. If NB is too low, the system freezes.No BSOD, no prime errors, just hard freeze. This is from my experience with S2E.

Turned out to be a funky chip, (boxed and everything).

Exchanged it for a new one, (vid dropped from 1.250 to 1.225).

This chip behaves as it should.

Thanks tekjunkie and Trigger5521 for the settings

I'll give 'em a shot over the next couple days....really can't wait to get outta' work now

I'm really having a hard time with mine....since the spring....

Side thought: I was somewhat concerned and now I'm relieved....my "CPU Level up" field in BIOS disappeared a long time ago (don't remember which rev. bios killed it) but, I see both you guys' is missing too....not that I used it, just that it was weird, one day I just noticed it missing.

@Erikz: Another side thought: I got a Q6600 doing 450 x 8 on a 680i Striker for over a year now....just a hunch, but I would think you should be able to do something similar on 790i.

Hi,

I am new to this forum and have been reading through the various threads relating to the Striker II Extreme.

I have been trying to overclock my rig but have not had much success, I first tried these settings;

Extreme Tweaker 

CPU Level Up = Auto
Memory Level Up = Auto
CPU Multiplier = 10
FSB (QDR) Frequency = 1600 (400)
Mem (DDR) Frequency = 1600 (800)
LDT Frequency = 5x

Memory Timing Section 

P1 = Auto
P2 = Auto
tCL = 9
tRCD = 9
tRP = 9
tRAS = 24
Command Per Clock = 2T
tRRD = Auto
tRC = Auto
tWR = Auto
tWTR = Auto
tFAW = Auto
tRD = Auto
tRTP = Auto
tRFC = 60
tREF = Auto

Over Voltage

CPU Voltage = 1.35v
Loadline Calibration = Enabled
CPU PLL Voltage = 1.6v 
CPU VTT Voltage = 1.3v
Memory Voltage + 1.8v
NB Core Voltage = 1.40v
SB Core Voltage = 1.50
CPU GTL_REF0 Ratio = Auto
CPU GTL_REF1 Ratio = Auto
CPU GTL_REF2 Ratio = Auto 
CPU GTL_REF3 Ratio = Auto
DDR3 CHA1 Ref Voltage = Auto
DDR3 CHA2 Ref Voltage = Auto
DDR3 CHB1 Ref Voltage = Auto
DDR3 CHB2 Ref Voltage = Auto

Upon booting into Windows it bluescreened so I upped the CPU Voltage to 1.4 volts. Again did the same when booting into Windows, I then dropped the multiplier to 9 it got to the logon screen I put in my password and as the Windows loading sound went to play it bluescreened.

I have run Memtest for a few hours and on ever pass it was successful even with the recommended memory timings.

CoreTemp shows the VID as 1.2375v.

Any help would be gratefully received.

Thanks!

Hmm. never paid attention to it. Also, I was able to reduce the Vspp to 1.42 and did a prime run of 9 hours no problem. Next is to see how much low of a PLL I can go
