ASUS Republic of Gamers Striker Extreme Motherboard

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This Boards is Fantastic. It works very well with Dual graphics cards and it is nice if you are an Enthusiast.

I will be a wise decision to get one.

.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................very good motherboard!!
shame that i cant use it on my machine but i was told by a mate of mine which has exactly the same one that this is a hell of a motherboard!
...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

why i keep buying this model is a mystery, but i think its the challenge to get them running to its top performance (which im sure would be fantastic if it does what it says on the box)!!!!!!!!!!!
Wouldnt recommend to a novice builder, or anyone who wouldnt know how to correct the MANY problems this board gives you.
Main problems I have encountered: ram slots, 2 and 4 work and 1 and 3 dont, and vice versa
Upgrading the bios: this is a risky business for any board, but this is a pig

I have rated it low purely on its tempermentalness (basically you should be able to buy a board put it in and off you go - hassle free), but with the ones I have had that HAVE been ok, they are top boards and do perform well

Very pleased with purchase, great gondition, as described fast delivery. Great for my new build. Many thanks

Ever since i bought this main board, my pc kept blue screening. I updated the bios and this did not help at all. It will not except my X-fi elite pro sound card and nor will it accept my 9450 Intel processor. If i was you buying this item, i would consider the latest board by Asus as this has the support for these components.

Basically.
First impression: Brilliant Motherboard
Problems:
Getting RAM. Its AM2 but still hard to do. Got there in the end.
Also

REALLY REALLY PROBLEMATIC!
OVERHEATING ??? yes, it really does.
Error message: CPU init (google it)
PROBLEMS PROBLEMS PROBLEMS!

what is there not to like controlability for overclocking as much or as little as you want perfect for fine tuning or even auto overclock too many options to mention GGGGGGGGGGREAT!!!!!!!!!!

good motherboard for overclocking slight problem with memory with it being so pickey but got their in the end

After reading all the reviews about this motherboard,i finally decided to buy one even though my pc is less than 6 months old.

At first is was real hard to get the pc to boot up (POST).But after going on the Asus forums,i was able to get it all working fine.

The overclocking capabilities of the board are amazing,as this was my main reason for buying it i am now over the moon with it.

I have now managed to overclock my E6600 core 2 duo from 2.4ghz to 3.3ghz while being totally stable.

If you have plenty of patience,a reasonably fat wallet,and the need to push your hardware to the max,then this is the mobo for you!

I decided to buy this board due to its overclocking abilities, and also since it is capable of supporting the future 45nm Intel processors. But, due to newer boards coming out that already support the 45nm processors (I believe the Striker Extreme requires a BIOS flash, yet to be created by Asus) this board may or may not get this new BIOS.

Apart from that, I had very little trouble setting up this board. The only problem I had, which was a very minor and easy one to rectify, was the RAM voltage setting is set at 1.8v by default. This caused random errors and crashes. Once the RAM voltage was set to its native 2.1v everything went swimmingly. I am also using 2x1GB OCZ Platinum XTC RAM, which is not in the Quality Vendor List, but works excellently. Its rated at 800MHz, and currently mine is running overclocked at 900MHz.

Im currently running an Intel E1200 1.6GHz Dual Core CPU (overclocked at 2.2GHz) with this board, its alo ran a Pentium D Dual Core 3.2GHz CPU, and an Intel Q6600 Quad Core 2.4GHz SLACR with no problems at all. (Im currently waiting on an order for my own Q6600!)

As for the general running, I would recommend having a case with good airflow, at least one decent 120mm fan, as with gaming the copper piping can runquite warm, especially on the northbridge area.

Im using one Nvidia 7950GX2 along with my setup, and I must say it runs very quietly! The onboard power/reset/Clear CMOS buttons are an excellent touch, and the lights are a good idea, but more of a gimmick than actually useful. The only minor gripe I can see is the ATX power and the one IDE socket. I would have preferred this to have been seperated away from eachother, but since all my devices are SATA, it doesnt really bother me.

Overall I am very pleased with the board! The packaging and bundle are excellent, and the board itself runs like a dream! So far I have been able to push CPUs quite far with still a good amount of headroom left!

If you are going to buy one of these boards, I would certainly do some homework on components, make sure theyre compatible, and upgrade to the latest BIOS version, as Ive found on forums etc when I was checking out this board it is not without its problems, as with many other boards.

this motherboard i choose from bout 3 differnet choices it has everythin on it and more and it vcabable of everythin and more
