ASUS Striker II Extreme

[Trigger5521]

I finally got my system stable with 8 GB, I had to buy a pair of these to match up with the same 4Gb sticks that I have.But it took too much voltage to get there. I might have to try to get the voltages down.

The freaking FSB hole @1600 is killing me.

Nice tekjunkie 8GB is tough, looks like your NB and SB are getting really hot at 77c, amazing it went 8 hours in Prime.

I think you could come down on the CPU volts my Q9650 will do 4050mhz at 1.42(actual, 1.33 BIOS LLC enabled)...the trick for me to get 8GB stable in prime was 1.62v NB AND 2.06v MEM volts....more CPU volts was not helping me.

I hit a wall at 1840, Memtest 2 full passes, I can post and boot Vista at 4140mhz 1840FSB L&S but it's not prime95 stable. I have tried an ton of things but nothing is working...I think I have to find a magic CPU GTL combo.

What's weird is if I go even 1mhz above 1840 system will not post period, I tried a bazillon settings and never once got it to post above 1840.
