Well I'm typing this from vista ultimate. Thank you all for you advice and trouble shooting that helped me get up and running it would have taken waaaaay longer had I been forced to figure it out on my own. :D Final Solution: Update memory voltage to 2.2v for gskill f2-8000-2gbhz flash to bios...

I am using a Striker Extreme motherboard and was wondering what voltages, those that have the gskill HZ's, are running your memory at? Thanks.

Funny you should mention that Bill, as I have never flashed a bios and I am having trouble making a bootable floppy. On the Asus sight it says that their AFLASH utility can only run in DOS and not MS-DOS and that I should use the "Format A: /S" command to format the floppy to make it bootable...

k good news :) I got it to boot the bios with my friends memory, changed the voltages and then my gskill worked. Now, however, when I try to begin to install OEM vista ultimate I get blue screens I random spots in the install. Any Ideas? I've tried different sticks of memory removing gfx cards...

As of now, I tried removing the battery for a half day and replacing it, removing one of the GTX's, and using one stick of the PC2-8000 mentioned below. Now the monitor gets to the "Republic of Gamers" logo and hangs, not letting me into the bios when I press delete. The post on the back says...

k, I've tried: clearing the CMOS and rebooting, booting with 1 stick of RAM, booting w/ either the HDD or DVD drive disconnected, booting w/ both drives disconnected, and booting with the front USB ports disconnected and no luck. Please if anyone has any other ideas let me...

Just finished installing everything in my new computer. However, when I turn it on , I get a "USB Init" on the post lcd and I can't enter the BIOS, it just seems to hang. Anyone know why this is and/or what I need to do to fix this and get it so I can actually use my new comp. :confused: Here...

Anyone use DCC? Just curious because I'm trying to decide between the Samsung LN-S4096D and the LN-S4095D and the idea of one less appliance is intriguing. Also, are the 2nd generation cable card devices out, the ones that can send and receive information and get On-Demand and cable guide functions?

Can anyone comment on gaming with the Samsung 4095D and/or post pics? Also, does the pc connection support 1080p? Thanks.

Touché, Jonny, I went back and looked at those graphs and right at the top it says "WHOLE SYSTEM". Lol, how I missed that I'm not sure, but I'm sure glad you mentioned it. Going to do a little more reading up on the Silencer & the M12 and then make a decision. Thanks again for all the posts.

Well here PC Perspective says the QX will hit 236w @ load, so I figured an even 300w once OC. Here PCP says GTX SLI at load will draw 462w. Are these stats wrong? Or maybe I'm understanding this incorrectly, I just added the wattages together. :confused: So would you recommend the PCP&C...

No I guess it doesn't I was just trying to leave some room for OC. The system I have picked out is: QX6700 2x 8800GTX in SLI 1x WD 320GB Caviar 1x DVD-RW Drive 2GB Memory Danger Den DD5 pump for WC I read that the QX6700 OC & 8800 GTX SLI draw about 700w!

I'm looking for a 1000w powersupply that has good, clean voltage regulation and low noise. I would love to go with the PCP&C but I've heard its REALLY noisy even at low load and the Enermax Galaxy is good but the voltage fluctuation on the 3.3v & 5v rails is over 50mV which might damage some of...

At the moment I'm trying to decide between the Silencer 750 or Enermax Galaxy 1kW.

Thx for the replies. I do plan on going with 8800 GTX SLI setup so I guess 680i is the way to go, just seems like there is so much negativity around it at the moment. Especially around the Striker Extreme. Would EVGA be the next best option for 680i?
