Asus Striker II Extreme: Corruption/Freezes Troubleshooting Thread

[gunslinger690]

I'v been trying to o/c my board for a while now. I have the bios cpu overvolt to 1.4375. However in cpuz it shows a cpu volt at 1.120. Which one is right. Does this board undervolt that much? That would explain the crashs when I bump the multiplirer up to 10. With bios 091 I hit an o/c of 3.5 with no sweat. I'll wait for a replay before I bump the cpu voltage up, I really don't want to fry my proc. I ain't got another grand to drop at the moment.

If I recall correctly, CPUz cannot read the voltage on the Striker II Extreme, and even if it could it cannot be used as a reference at all, since software measurements are inaccurate, usually way off.

If you have a DMM ( Digital MultiMeter ) then you should check up your Vcore with it.
If you need guidance, let me know

p.s. And no, if you have the LoadLine Calibration option set to Enabled, there's nearly no Vdroop at all.

No I don't have a DMM. If I understand you right I shoud have LLC enabled? And thanks for the reply.

Yes, if you don't want to have any Vdroop set LLC to enabled.

Hi guys, been facing issues with my striker II extreme and was wondering if anyone could help me out

everest memory and 3dmark seem to perform much better at 1600fsb linked and synced with RAM, but immediately at 1601 and above it will just drop like 3k points off everest and 5k points off 3dmark, really strange

even if i leave the ram unlinked at 1600 and increase the cpu to 1601 and above it will still spark the drop

from that point onwards, any increases to clock speed will only yield performance boosts from the dropped point onwards

anyone know why it would do this?

running : asus striker ii extreme
intel q9550 quad-core
kingston hyperx ddr3-1800 4 X 1GB

thanks in advance!

Hey Tcex I don't mean to divert from your question but could you post your BIOS settings with which you are able to reach 1600Mhz stable on both FSB and Ram? I'm stable at 3.2Ghz with the same setup but I'm having a hard time reaching 1600Mhz and having to pump pretty high voltages (Core 1.425, NB 1.6, testing now with quad running at ~69C and NB ~61C under load, btw those are in Bios, CPU-Z returned Vcore as something along 1.376 if I remember correctly).

Edit: IBT failed >.<

hi Bobly, mostly on auto voltages now as i try to figure out whats wrong with the post-1600fsb range, but do have ram set to 1.9

core and nb voltages iirc are nowhere near as high as 1.425 and 1.6, thats really odd and makes me think that it isnt voltage pumping that is the problem with yours atm

what happens as you near 1600? no POST?
