Hello Folks,
Well my Asus Striker Extreme finally died,couldnt clear the CPU INIT Error,sending back to OC for replacement,looking to get new board also going to use the Striker in a build for some one else,im using a Q6600 Intel CPU,Swiftech H20-220 Apex Ultra+ Watercooling Kit,GeIL 4GB (4x1GB) PC2-8500C5 1066MHz Black Dragon DDR2 Dual Channel Kit,Leatek Ge-Force 8800 Ultra Leviathan,Antec P182 Case-I need a board that will overclock and not be a pain in the rear end like the Striker lol :mad:
