More Information

I had my e2160 (Dual core 1.8ghz) running on an Asus P5B board at 3ghz stable with air cooling. Really no problem, even used many "auto" settings without a hitch. But because of the crappy raid support on the P5B, I decided to go all out and buy the Asus Striker Extreme board. I moved the same CPU into that board and now I can't get crap for overclocking.

It seems I've tried everything, manual and auto alike, to no success. The best I can get is with the AI Overclock on %15, but that only gets me to 2070mhz with a 920 FSB. I've ran 1.45vcore with unlinked FSB/Memory bus, and I can't get the damn thing to even POST half the time. The best I ever got with manual settings was 2.25ghz (1000 fsb, 800 memory). WTF?? There seems to be no heat issues, BIOS and NV Monitor both read CPU always under 40-45°C.

If anyone has anything I can try I'd sure appreciate it.

Asus Striker Extreme, 1305
Intel Dual Core e2160

No sweat. Print this out & dig in:

http://www.nvidia.com/docs/CP/4512 [...] ocking.pdf

I read that & understood the art of 680i overclocking. It's very well written & complete from start to finish (including cooling & other parts).

I'd suggest you leave voltages to auto for now & set ram to specs & o/c the cpu unlinked to highest possible. Post your bios settings & I'll see what is up.
