    Problem running OCZ3P20002GK at its spec speed

    it is at 100, and as i found out already, it is a ram issue instead of a pcie or gfx xard issue

    Problem running OCZ3P20002GK at its spec speed

    I have completed my new build, see my sig for HW spec and current OC setting It is completely stable at 425 x 9.5, RAM is L&S at 1700MHz. No graphic issue, or any issues for that matter. But once I raise FSB to 430, I have all kind of graphic issue. Even the 3D setting preview box in the...

    E8500 + Striker 2 Extreme + OCZDDR3-2000, OC problem

    ok bursted! it is the ram. i unlinked it and set it at below 1700 mhz, then i can overclock as far as my cpu / my watercooling / my own nerve can take... but the question remains... how to take my ram to its spec-ed speed of 2000mhz?

    E8500 + Striker 2 Extreme + OCZDDR3-2000, OC problem

    I haven't touch the PCI-E MHz in BIOS.... or is the value relative to FSB, similar to the RAM Frequency setting in some BIOS ?

    E8500 + Striker 2 Extreme + OCZDDR3-2000, OC problem

    It is completely stable at 425 x 9.5, RAM is L&S at 1700MHz. No graphic issue, or any issues for that matter. But once I raise FSB to 430, I have all kind of graphic issue. Even the 3D setting preview box in the Nvidia Control Panel has flickers and artifacts. And it will crash within...

    E8500 + Striker 2 Extreme + OCZDDR3-2000, OC problem

    I have completed my new build, see my sig for HW spec and current OC setting I found that I can OC much higher, I can set RAM to 1800MHZ and CPU to 450 x 9.5 = 4285 MHz with VCore = 1.43v in BIOS. This is Orthos stable for at least 12 hours, but I can't do any gaming or porn watching, or...

    Do I need to watercool Striker 2 Extreme?

    I will upgrade to this MB soon, I have my CPU and SLI watercooled now and I will do the same in my new rig. And I do overclock. I hope to go as far as my new Q9450 permits My question is, should I watercool the motherboard also? It already comes with a chipset block, but due to its...

    OCZ Platinum DDR3-2000 for Asus Striker 2 Extreme?

    ok, so you actually suggest me to go for 1800 MHz instead of 2000MHz? it is a 790i's problem that it can't work with 2000 MHz properly? but isn't that support for 2000MHz a strong point for 790i? so is it actually a OCZ memory's issue? or there is a compatibility issue between 790i and OCZ ram...

    OCZ Platinum DDR3-2000 for Asus Striker 2 Extreme?

    I am planning for my build, 2 components are confirmed so far, they are Q9450 and Asus S2E. Now I am thinking about RAM. I planned to spend some money but after all these years in the OCing game I have learned to spend sensibly. My favorite brand name is Corsair, but their DDR3 modules are...

    External Watercooler Prototype

    Now I am thinking about the cabling. The single-cable approach is very good, but it is very time consuming to make. The whole cabling system is being built with "raw" materials...power cords, D-Sub plugs, Electronic boards, jumper plugs, etc.....and there are more than 100 solder joints....Do...
