Blimey that's the most expensive I have seen it going for so far :eek:

... after seeing that I pre ordered mine elsewhere. :cool:

Have spent a lot of money with clockers in the past but now they don't seem to be very competitive, didn't mind paying a couple of quid extra coz of the fast delivery but £30 is way over the top

Still the striker is looking a nice mobo lets hope it performs like one too!!!.

Come on Lustral lets here what you have to say about it m8

wow, the LCD poster and the clear CMOS buttons are amazing, i hope every new motherboard comes with these features now.

hardtarget I suggest you read the FAQ. http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/faq.php?

Specifically the bit about OcUK competitors.

Looks like an interesting board, will have to have a read on the ASUS site!

gizmoy2k · 23 Nov 2006 at 01:27

Glad i didnt wait for this now and got the EVGA instead, most of the stuff looks like eyecandy here, Cant be much difference in performance, specially to justify the £££

H'mm this might be useful to a few people, here is the directory where the bios revisions will be!

ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/mb/socket775/Stricker Extreme/

Current bios seems to be 302 as of when I write this, which bios is shipped with the boards you have?

Abit IN9 32X-MAX will be roughly £100 cheaper you see! I expect the DFI to be similar priced to the Asus Striker lol - pure speculation of course. :rolleyes:

You know what they say - patience is a virtue, to warrant a price tag like the Striker it would have to blow the Evga out of the water & I doubt its going to do that, it seems that all your buying is the brand name to me, like buying designer clothes its getting absolutly ridiculous. Even if its a 5% performance beater to the others it doesnt warrant such a pathetic price.

Maybe its because the high price of copper? lol you seen how much there is on that Asus Striker lmao no wonder its so expensive. :rolleyes:

Well long story , short , im taking it back for a refund , it takes so much even to overclock my E6600 to 3.0Ghz and then its soooo hot on the cpu temps, compared to my P5W DH it is *language!*.

The Vcore Droops on this board are like 0.12 to 0.13 that totally un-acceptable imo. My P5W DH only droops aboout 0.03- 0.05 underload !

My mate thinks its the nuts , he is getting like 3.9Ghz on AIR but with massive Vcore pushing it and insane temps.

Oh well

Back to my DH

£260 for a motherboard is *language!* insane.

here i was thinking that the 2 dearest asus 975x boards were costly ....then came Evga 680i ....and now this.
