Asus Striker II Extreme: Corruption/Freezes Troubleshooting Thread

[Bobly]

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 >.<
