ASUS Striker II Extreme

I dont think the 1.65v will work with that voltage, but I cant say is 100% confirmed.

[Sangrak]

A read a post on the Asus forums about someone successfully using the Mushkin tri-channel kit on his SEII. He says his system is finally stable after moving from his OCZ sticks to those.

[neo mike]

It will work, those sticks are no different than the ddr3 we use in our boards now, they just run on much lower voltage, and use different ics, wish i had the cash for the corsair 2000 cas 7 6 gig kit, im really want to try it. There is another kit from Adata, that is rated for 2133 cas 8, but there extremely hard to get here in america. Im sure those corsairs will do 2100mgz, i can do 2090 mgz on my crucials, but its not stable, have push the heck out of them to do it, the corsairs will probaly do it no problem and be able to get it stable.

Damn I wish these new Dominator GT's were available in Canada...I'm crazy enough to try them. I'd buy 2 tri-channel kits use four of the sticks and sell the extra 2 sticks.

[neo mike]

You buy 2 kits i will buy the extra 2 sticks. They wont ship to canada ?

[Big Myke]

Yo Neo Mike, were you gonna post them pics of your water blocks.

[neo mike]

Yes , there not water blocks, there air cooled custom heatsinks.

Is almost done, ran into a little problem finding a way to cut all the heatsink pins to same size, but have resolved the problem, promise will post, i have to set all 150 pins into the heatsink, i cant wait to see the results, sorry for taking so long, when your creating something new problems arise. Hang in there a few more days.

Here is another kit that runs 2000 cas 7, they look pretty good, cheaper than the corsairs http://newgskill.web-bi.net/bbs/view...desc=asc&no=58

Ok slim didnt know that, i did have a ddr2 kit of theres for a few months but sold it, i know guys running there ddr 1200 4 gig kit for 6 months with no problems.

[slim142]

Oh man, avoid G.Skill at all costs. They have always died on me after 2-3 months, F-

Update: Well, it all depends on their models. Non-micron sticks seem to be really good and long lasting, but I just had enough of G.Skill for now.

[Trigger5521]

I'm sure they'll ship to Canada but I'll get slaughtered on them, full retail, exchange rate from CND to USD, shipping, duty at the border..huge if they use UPS and then I'd have to pay full GST of 8%.

Maybe we should work something out neo-mike. Ship to you, you can regular mail to me declare as gift no tax no duty reasonable shipping.

Any retailers carrying them or is it Corsair web site only @ full MSRP?

[neo mike]

Yeah sounds like you would get ripped off doing it that way. The online corsair store is only place they have them, maybe we could works something out, and i just ship to you as a gift if thats the way around all that extra waste of cash, like there already not enought as it is. The g.skills arent available yet, talked to the rep, but they look very promising, sure its same ics. Im sure we could works something out, i would love to have 2x2 of those sticks.

I guess i just read that ocz has a 2000 cas 7 kit being released very very soon, so i think there are going to be alot to choose from on 2000 cas 7.

[slim142]

G.Skill and OCZ are coming out with those kits soon. Kingston might be coming late, but the more the better.

Going to have to be patient anyways the corsair 2000 is not shipping just yet.

[neo mike]

Well guys here it is, im not completely done, need to polish it up, and do some fine filing, but you get the idea, 1/8 solid copper bottom, 3/8 solid aluminum blocks, with 130 1/8 copper post, that stand 3/4 inch above the blocks, with 2 50mm fans cooling it, will post more pics when i clean it up, but i think this thing is going cool the nb down to 35c idle around 45c full load, im hoping, this thing is heavy, loads of copper.

[neo mike]

Few more shots of the heatsink, you can see the pins better, what do u guys think ?

[Big Myke]

i Like it, what's going to hold it down?

[neo mike]

Well i have tapped 4 holes in the copper bottom that match the board holes and will use 4 40 thread screws to mount it, and have bottom plate on underside of board and springs on the screws to keep tight agains chip. I also put 5 of the copper pins all the way thru the top block and bottom block into the copper bottom and filed them off so it will help transfer heat into the upper block. I will show pics of the bottom once i get it polished up like a mirror, then its testing time.

[otisthecat]

anyboby out there can give me some setting so that i can oc my q6600 unti i get my q95500 back from rma

[neo mike]

Try post 2447 few pages back, seems close to what you have, there is a full bios settings templete there, im not running a quad, so wouldnt be much help.

[otisthecat]

thanks but i had a stable system with my q9550 until it lost its magic smoke now using my old q6600 ,need settings for that

[otisthecat]

It's stable like that, but I can't find stability with a higher multi. It won't do 3.6ghz even with 1.5v. It shouldn't need that much should it?

Thanks for any help. Much appreciated.
