Just want to check some settings with people that are in the know ;)
i basically installed 4 gig of mem (4x1 gig corsair XMS2)on to my striker extreme,yes i know rubbish M/B get a new one,anyway to get it to even boot i had to increase the mem voltage,once i did that booted no probs,showed 4 gig all was good.
Every time i would play WOW or LOTRO i would lock up,this could happen 5-6 times an hour,i had a brain fart and thought maybe its the mem voltage not high enough,increased it a tad more and i have not locked up once since.
I understand that the striker extreme doesn't give true voltage readings?so what i want is for someone with similar set up tell me their v-settings just incase i'm still not getting what i should be out of this mem,if that makes sence,heres my settings at the mo.

V-CORE VOLTAGE=AUTO ---------------------1.16V
MEM VOLTAGE=2.150V-------------------------2.22V
1.2V HT VOLTAGE=AUTO-----------------------1.26V
NB CORE VOLTAGE=1.30V----------------------1.36V
SB CORE VOLTAGE=AUTO----------------------1.53V
CPU VTT VOLTAGE=AUTO----------------------1.26V
DDRII CONTROLLER REF VOLTAGE=AUTO
DDRII CHANNEL A REF VOLTAGE=AUTO
DDRII CHANNEL B REF VOLTAGE=AUTO

Readings on the left are the voltage monitor readings,thanks guys:
 
download occt and it will tell you what voltages your running while you're playing games...

You'll need to check what voltage you're meant to run for specific memory speeds fo rthe sticks you're using... I always put DDR2 at 2.1 and go from there...
