POS 780i... 5th one sucks too.... help!

[Dia01]

Had another go at putting the Stiker II mobo in last night with the same OS as before and she seems to be running fine at the moment. So, I can definately say the mobo's not dead. Although the Raptor 36GB I recieved yesterday is, damaged in transit by the looks. Still very wary with these boards though!

well thats fairly suprising. I've used a few 680i (most of them striker extreme) and none of them worked with any form of quad at all beyond 300 FSB.

skillz.. not everyone weilds it. You need to feel the board. make it a part of your body. This is from my friend. I used a Striker X once also.. had no problems with my dual core too.

Everytime I visit forums thrashtalking Striker, I just smirk the day away.

Also, for mems getting fried on the board, if your running 2 stix, install it to DIMM 2 and 4... since the heatpipe near the mem sockets emit heat.. leaving the ram heatspreaders near the pipes to absorb that intense heat.
