ASUS Striker Extreme offical 1401 BIOS 2008/1/10 released

[LADert6]

is 1501 stable? I heard someone has problem with stability, some bsods and problems ...

No stable at 100%, over 8 / 12 hours of use with yorkfield (QX9650) system crashes Continuously!
We hope in 1502 or later

[callen_1]

anyone tried 1401 or 1501 with kentsfield yet?? if so, what your max fsb??

[optical10]

Just wondering if anybody has been brave enough to update their bios considering last time I checked 1303 was considered the most overclocking stable? Specifically would like to hear from those with the creative X-Fi and onboard sound enabled Over-Clockers?

Cheers, Optical10

Blue Aqua,
did you happen to get a changelog with that 1501 BIOS?

Blue Aqua,

I didn't. I only got 1501.bin.

I tested it for only one day before I got my DFI UT P35-T2R and haven't powered it up since. From my testing everything went fine but I've heard that SLI isn't liking it.

1401 and below dont really support wolfdales since i wasnt able to use any multi besides 6. When multi 9 manages to boot, after every system restart its reset to 6 again.. My striker is of the very first revision aswell.

With 1501 alpha im atleast able to use the processor with all multis , including 9.5. Im having a very hard time being stable at anything above ~420 fsb thou, tried every divider and voltages... im stuck at ~4ghz stable with 1.28volts. I think ive got a good E8500 here but the board is holding me back for now.
Gonna hope they come up with some bioses fast, i need this board to last me until x48 hits the market.

Also bear in mind that there are problems with SLI and 1501 (i didnt test myself since i sold my other gtx) also theres some bug in this bios that you cant flash back to older bios versions. For me its a keeper until newer versions since i cant really use my E8500 with any other bios availible atm.

ACS I have a very similar setup to yours Bios 1401 I am experiencing the same problem with the E8400, multi reverts to 6. Error message "An unknown processor has been detected a new bios update is required to unleash it full power" It categorically states on the Asus website that the Striker supports 45nm cpu's so which one are they talking about?
I'm a bit wary of the 1501 Bios as I was considering SLI......anyone have any idea of when an official BIOS update is due?

[ACS]

Well iirc the striker had 45nm sticked on asus site but recently it was removed from here: http://event.asus.com/mb/45nm/
Dunno what theyre on about tbh... About the official bios i guess only someone with inside info can tell but judging on 1501alpha i suppose they should be making it availible as beta pretty soon..

[pmp]

New alpha build is done, for today called 1503. Major fix list below. OC capabilities - i do not have enough time to check it atm, maybe at end of the week.




Checksum: 8c00H

Get 012508 RC

01.Fixed Ati680 VGA with class 0380(before VGA 0300) can't display.
02.Modified setup help strings to Press [Enter] to set
03.Update ROMSIP table at default FSB
04.Fixed system hang 25 if SLI mode Graphic card install.
(Root cause:Too many IO resources wasted if IO wrap around to 400h, result in system hang.)
05.Show "EN SETUP" when entering setup menu.
06.Show LCD POSTER for NVMM initialization.

This is good news
Thanks PMP

[ACS]

Any news about a new public beta or smth? If anyone has some new alpha or beta (other then 1501) please PM me im willing to test anything. Especially now when x48 got delayed once again im stuck with the striker and i need a bios with better wolfdale support

[Arctucas]

Same here, I would like to try a new BIOS >1501 Alpha or Beta does not matter, just to test it.

[Dihon]

Can I use 1501 BIOS for P5N32-E SLI (680i) ??

they took to bloody long to activate my account here..damn it

u kno how long i wanted to give u guys that BIOS..

directly from Asus themselves..seems u gotta email them to get it

it supports and fixes all your e8XXX needs..not the quads just yet, and also doesnt support SLi..

enjoy clockin those babies !



btw..if u googled it..u would of seen people from guru3d with it as well!

Cheers!

[ACS]

Thanks man, ive been googling it but it was just people using it and no links. Ive got a mail to asus a few days back aswell but no answer yet... im hoping for 1503 from them. Will check 1502 when i get home from work.

People talk about a completed 1503 but no one seems to have it. I have had my E8400 for 2 weeks now and also have SLI, so no need to upgrade my system until (I Hope) 1503 is released.

Does anyone have any specific info about when the next release will happen.
Their response to support for the E8400

Hello,

Currently, that CPU is still unsupported by the Striker Extreme BIOS. When a BIOS release is available that will allow you to run that CPU it will be posted on the support page, but we are not given a timetable by our engineering department on when we can expect it. The best advice I can offer is to keep checking at http://support.asus.com for any new release.

Same here, i bought a e8500 but i can't mount it yet because i need a working bios for my SLI config. I wish pmp would give us a link to download it. Btw i'm new here, how did he get it ? He seems to be some kind of guru in this forum

I'm seriously thinking of selling that extra 8800 Ultra and buying a P5E instead and get i.e 4.5Ghz easily in place of a hardly supposed 4ghz on striker. Plus i don't see that many games that support SLI very well, even though i have a 30' inch screen and that the performance increase is obvious when it works. What do you guys think ? Would it be worth it ?

[ACS]

So far 1502 is definite keeper over 1501, i managed to get 4100 prime stable and thats what im gonna use for 24/7. With 1501 my max prime stable was 3800, 4g and over were unstable. Just dont flash this if you intend to use sli cause i heard it cant even post with 2 cards.
This is with 1.37v measured with multimeter, vdroop pencil mod. Im happy for now, gonna test more during the weekend for max clocks

[Chillygoose]

The Striker Extreme has it listed on the box that it supports 45nm processors. This is one of the reasons I purchased the MB and also to overclock. I should have purchased the EVGA board, they already released an BIOS upgrade that works.

[ICE_Chiney]

so no word on the 1503 PMP??

dude...right now..i feel to fly my board out of this window and get a 780i.. but that end in resulting no SLi for me..damn u ASUS !!!!

[RADCOM]

I think Asus have put this BIOS development as low priority due to the sheer volume of boards they support. On the other hand I think it is just taking time to tweak the BIOS and that they will make it avavilable as soon as it's "cooked". Wolfdale may not provide a vast amount of performance difference anyways......funny how they have removed the 45nm support from their website though........

Still says 'Support 45nm'.
