Told you all it had bad vcore, research before you buy
overated products.

and no bios update will fix a bad vcore

Lovely photos of a 30" desktop - can't make out the figures though!

What's the FSB topping out at? I've seen people post results on this board using a 6600 running at 3150MHz (525 x 6) using auto voltage, on stock cooler. However, I've also heard that some people need to use a lot more vcore then on p5b and p5w64.

I suppose high temps aren't such an issue for people with decent cooling (water/phase), but there have been a number of posts raised re the voltage droop. What's the max VCore your friend is using and what CPU is he overclocking?

Read the thread properly and base your posts on fact!! It has a high Vcore, it looks like it has a vdroop issue though.

He is using 1.65 V on the Core and has got it to about 3.8-3.9Ghz on the stock cooler.

Death to that cpu will be not far off! :eek:

1.65v on the stock cooler! that thing will be hotter than the sun. :eek:

I would have said that 1.50v would be as much as the stock cooler could take. 1.55v for high-end air cooling, 1.60v for water and 1.65v and over for phase change/dry ice. That would be my idea of safe limits.

Still doesn't say what FSB it's running at though.

A good water cooled rig will easily work with 1.65 and push 1.7.

I really do think the Striker is overrated and very much over priced. Silly Asus.

The back of the king size skins missing is also a giveaway !

Nice spec and pic, also well spotted to the weed police on here.

whats the max fsb you can get?? try running 500*6, 510, 520 etc to find out the max fsb. a lot of the current 965 and 975 boards wont get past 485, im hoping this board will do 513, so i can have 513*7 - 3.6ghz.
