CPU INIT

ASUS Striker Extreme LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI ATX The Ultimate Gaming Motherboard
ASUS Striker Extreme LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI ATX The Ultimate Gaming Motherboard

Pros: This is a Great MB have every thing you pay for from Cool look to OCing.

Cons: It also have one thing that all Striker owner did not pay for and that is the CPU INIT code on the LCD Poster. My first Striker last for 1 whole year no problem. Than it begain one day turn on nothing come on fan, lights on but no beep nothing look at LCD poster it show CPU INIT. Try new cpu ram same call ASUS (you have better chance calling a radio station than ASUS put on hold 40min than on hold again for 20 more min) OK got set up for RMA got new Striker about 4 almost 5 week cause they say they out of stock. Finally got one put it on run ok for about 2 week than CPU INIT again.

Overall Review: Intel Core 2 E6700 upgrage to E8400 on bio 1503, 4G Corsair PC 8500 5C, BFG 8800GTX, BFG PhyX, Sound Blaster Adugy PL, WD 320Gx2, TT 850w toughpower, and Striker(Dead)Extreme. DON"T BUYTHIS MB IF YOU DON"T WANT TO STRESS LIKE ALOT OF US STRIKER OWN. (THE ONE THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM ONLY)

CPU INIT

ASUS Striker II Extreme LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 790i Ultra SLI ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS Striker II Extreme LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 790i Ultra SLI ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: This board look good and maybe it might do ok...

Cons: I feel sorry if anyone who pay 470 dollar for this board and a few month or year later end up with CPU INIT like alot of Striker owner. I pay 380 dollar for the Striker Extreme and end up with CPU INIT after 1 whole. RMA to Asus take 4 week before I got one back and the power button on the board won't even work. That board last for 2 week than CPU INIT-RMA it back 2 board come in the heat pipe is lose no big deal right pust the push lock in to lock it test it on carboard box to make sure it work before put in cast. 30 Second in to boot I see smoke come from the heat pipe near the CPU power connector guess what they did not put heat compond on that side before they ship it.

Overall Review: No more ASUS for me. I use to love them and they make nice mobo with lot of OC stuff but they are going down Yahoo or Google CPU INIT

CORSAIR DOMINATOR 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X2048-8500C5D

Pros: GREAT memory got 4 stick run great at 1066mhz oc to 1120mhz no problem.

Cons: One stick of my is dead so sent it back to Corsair they sent me one set that is not XMS2 its the G verion will not run pass 900mhz unstable with my other 2 XMS2 verion. Call them back after 2 hour of playing with it they told me to send it back but they also told me they only have the G verion now so there is no point of wasting money send it back....if they just going to test it and send me other G verion when I pay for the XMS verion so i can OC.
