It's not listed on their BIOS site. Most beta BIOSes are not posted. For example I am using 1504 which Sky Liu from ASUS Taiwan sent to me direct and it's not their website<br /> <br /> You understand now?<br /> text/html 2008-04-20T16:15:16-05:00 _MD_ http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71157/#534053 Clemence Mlambo said: <div class="quote">Can I have a download link to this BIOS 1505 or higher for the Striker Extreme.

Disabale Speedstep, SpreadSpectrum and the other utilities that underclock the cpu when in standby mode. Also try overclocking with your memory unlinked to the FSB. text/html 2008-04-02T20:06:44-05:00 cathal ferry http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71157/#532696 My cpu's temps are core 1= 44 core 2=43 core 3=43 c ore 4=42 (degrees celcius)<br /> the +12v is reading 11.77v in the bios, the +5v is 4.97v and the +3.3v is 3.23v. should this make a difference.

Even 850mhz 4-4-4-4 at 2.0V, but you will experiment upon the system boot text/html 2008-04-02T17:37:34-05:00 cathal ferry http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71157/#532690 I can get the clock 1333 or 333mhz*9. it shows 3ghz, i changed the ram voltage to 2.4v and it went past the boot problem and started booting but when it was nearly finished it restarted. i then tried changing the ram voltage to 2.425 same thing happens, then changed it to 2.450 and nothing, i thin the timings are affecting this, it seems stable at 6 6 6 20, but still, cpu core voltage is 1.2875v, anyone got any ideas,<br /> the ram is pc8500 ocz platinum 1000mhz running unlinked with the cpu @ a frequency of 800mhz, im confused nearly boots, i seem to be almost there but further tweking is required,<br /> text/html 2008-04-01T15:00:06-05:00 cathal ferry http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71157/#532570 I have an akasa evo blue cpu cooler <a class="ext" href="/action/r/http://www.akasa.co.uk/" target="_blank">http://www.akasa.co.uk/</a> its the ak922. i have cpu core at 1.350v and the NB at 1.55v it boots but not into windows. text/html 2008-04-01T14:22:20-05:00 _MD_ http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71157/#532569 I used to have striker extreme with E6600 and were able to boot at 3.5GHz no probs...<br /> <a class="ext" href="/action/r/http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/8356/md10704338me6.jpg" target="_blank">http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/8356/md10704338me6.jpg</a><br /> <br /> What kind of cooling do you have?<br /> And remember, since Q6600 doesn't have an unlocked multipler, you will have to be running higher FSB. Higher FSB means taht voltages throughout the system have to be increased - especially NB. text/html 2008-04-01T09:02:34-05:00 cathal ferry http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71157/#532557 I managed to get the cpu overclocked to 3ghz using 1333mhz fsb or 9*333 and i disbaled all spread spectrum controls as well as set the timings for the ram to 5-5-5-15-2<br /> the cpu vcore to 1.350v, 1.2vht to 1.55v, cpu vtt to 1.55v, North chipset 1.55v ,south chipset 1.55v, ddr to 2.1v. These settings which i tried which were used by a guy on the net enable my machine to boot a 3ghz, Then before booting into to vista i pick a boot method i just start windows normally a blank black screen and then it restarts, it is still unstable i tried loads of voltage settings, the ones i find which make most difference are the chipset voltages. too high fail to boot to low fail to boot. Does anyone know what i could do? text/html 2008-03-31T22:48:23-05:00 cathal ferry http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71157/#0 I recently bought an intel core 2 quad q6600 with an asus striker extreme motherboard,<br /> The problem i have is that i want to gt the q6600 to 3ghz but when i try to overclock it to a fsb of 1333mhz or 333mhz*9 cpu multiplier the system wont boot up. i have tried to change the voltages but its not stable, The in built utility in the striker extreme will allow it to be overclocked by up to 20%, The only setting that works for me is a 15% overclock but i want to manually set it to 3ghz, Does anyone have this mobo or can you guys give me some advice? Thanks <br /> by the way the cpu has the G0 stepping, im using a thermaltake toughpower 750watt modular, 4gb ddr2 pc8000 1000mhz ocz platinum, nvidia 8800ultra and an akasa evo cpu coooler.
