Hey man, i got your pm, but im gonna reply here:
WOW, ok i could go on a LONG time about overclocking this board, its tricky
Firstly you want the 1303 beta bios, its difficult to find but it overclocks WAY better than the latest 1305 bios(i tested lol...) you should be able to find the 1303 bios here
http://www.lejabeach.com/ASUS/Striker/ or here
ftp://dlsvr02.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/sock ... 20Extreme/
Next flash the bios using a flash drive and the easy flash in the bios(check your manual for help)
Ok, now as advanced said, you can drop the multi on your quad but you cant up it past 9x. SO set your multi to 6x
Next set your ram to stock settings(i.e. set timings to the stock settings, usually 5-5-5-15) and make sure your ram is running unlinked and at stock speed(usually 800)
Onto voltages. There is a problem with striker extremes that when the bios is set to default the ram voltage is set to 1.8v which is usually not enough for high performance ram. So, what you need to do is set your ram voltage to its stock setting(usually 2.2v).
Also the stirker usually undervolts the VTT voltage to about 1.2V, which should be set to 1.55v for best overclock so change that voltage from "Auto" to 1.55v
Now that the ram and VTT volts are set you should be able to leave everything else on auto(i have had alot of succsess with my board and the 1303 bios by just leaving Vcore and northbridge voltage on auto and overclocking, this way the board decides what is best. The problem is strikers are very pick and can be unstable if to little cvoltage OR TO MUCH voltage is applied for your overclock so you have to get it just right, which takes some trial and error.)
Now set your FSB to 1066(default) and check if it boots, if it is unstable then its probally the CPU so set it to 1.4vcore (remember 6x multi x 266 =~1.6ghz (1066Fsb /4 =266) so your quad will bott slow)
Right now we have isolated the cpu and ram from causeing instabilitys. Now start overclocking your FSB until it is at the spped you will need for the cpu spped you want with a 9x multi(ok thats confusing, what i mean is if you want your quad at 3ghz and 9x multi then your FSB must be 3000mhz/9 = 333.4. since its quad pumped in the bios 333.4*4 =1333.3FSB) So if you wanted 3ghz on your quad. overclock your bios to 1333 and test for stability(with quad still on 6x multi).
what you should do is increase your FSB by 10mhz at a time (*4 in the bios, so add 40 to the fsb in the bios) if it loses stability its your FSB and therefore your northbridge vcore, so go to the bios voltage monitoring feature and check what the NB is @ and then go to the voltages section and take the NB voltage off auto and set it to what ever the value was in the voltage monitoring section + ~0.05V and test for stabiltiy until you reach you FSB "Goal" adding 0.05v each time you lose stability.
Now that we have the FSB stable, you can put your quad up one "notch" to 7x multi, BOOT and test for stability, if its unstable add more Vcore to your quad until its stable. Repeat upping multi and vcore until it is stable at the overclock you want.
next is ram, sam procedure really, either drop timings to 4-4-4-10 or up the mhz and add vdimm for stability
OK, well i hope that helps!!! if need more let me know
also, the reason your cmos reset button isnt working is probley because the cmos clr jumper isnt enabled to connect the button, check the manual for how to do this. oh and what those quad temps, dont let them get over about 65'C, but i doubt they will
oh and to monitor temps use coretemp and to test for stability use orthos. (google is your friend
)
WOW long guide lol... i hope i have helped a fellow striker user, thease boards are tricky, but the overclock like ANIMALS!!!!
Good luck man!
