    How Many Different Revisions Of Striker Extreme Is There?

    Is there any versions that are better than others? I'm getting my board RMA'ed from ASUS and hopefully, they will replace it with a newer one. As a general question, what is the usual RMA process with manufacturers? Do they normally repair or replace the defective product and if they do...

    How to use RAID 0 and 2 single drives on X38 chipset?

    Tried it. A new drive pops up in "my computer", but no access. Then again, there should be TWO new drives. I don't know. Think a RAID card plugged into one of my PCI ports is the only way to solve this problem. Thanks though!

    How to use RAID 0 and 2 single drives on X38 chipset?

    The Striker allows me to select which drives are RAIDed and which ones aren't. The Intel chipset doesn't allow me to do this. The Intel chipset RAIDs everything! Guess I'll have to buy a RAID card from the looks of it. I just remembered when I was using my 875P board that there were 2 RAID...

    How to use RAID 0 and 2 single drives on X38 chipset?

    I just picked up the Maximus Formula board replacing it from the Striker Extreme. On the Striker, I could RAID 0 my 2 Raptors and have two 500 GB drives as single storage drives (not RAIDed). On my Maximus, I could RAID 0 my Raptors but this also RAIDs my 500 GB drives too! Not what I want...

    Differences between Maximus Formula / P5E / P5E WS Professional?

    Which one would you guys get? I know the Maximus is the most talked about board on this forum here, but would any of you guys get the other 2 price aside?

    Maximus Formula (X38) or Rampage Formula (X48)

    Which ones? I know the Rampage Formula isn't out yet but should I just grab the Maximus instead? They're pretty much identical. http://www.xcpus.com/forums/cpus-mainboards-chipsets/8282-asus-rampage-formula-pic.html

    Any benefit running memory asynchronously?

    Is there any benefit running memory outside of the 1:1 ratio? I always thought running 1:1 is the best for the whole system. CPU and Memory.

    Where To Get BIOS chip for Striker Extreme?

    Why did you replace so many EVGA 680i boards? Defective prone 680i chipsets like you were saying earlier? Is that it?

    Where To Get BIOS chip for Striker Extreme?

    1305 seems to be a hit or miss. It was working great for me and then as time progressed, the mobo became an expensive paperweight. Haven't heard too many issues with 1303 or 1301.

    Where To Get BIOS chip for Striker Extreme?

    As I've always said, "If you don't plan on going with SLI, skip the NVIDIA chipset based boards entirely". The Intel chipset based boards are faster, more reliable and generally speaking they are better overclockers. Best words I've heard all day from the motherboard guru!! :D Thanks, Dan!!

    Where To Get BIOS chip for Striker Extreme?

    Dan, Oh there is a Striker II coming out? That's interesting. Yep, not interested in SLI. Aside from the obvious cost, the gains don't seem to be worth it not to mention some of the SLI issues with some of the games. I'll just wait for the next high end part from Nvidia. Running the Dell...

    Where To Get BIOS chip for Striker Extreme?

    I'm hoping a new BIOS chip will solve the problem. I really need to grab the pics of my vacation off of my RAID 0 drives. Otherwise, I'm SOL!! After that, I'm selling this STRIKER off as fast as I bloody can!!! Is it just the Striker or is it the 680i chipset that is causing all this...

    Where To Get BIOS chip for Striker Extreme?

    I took the battery out for a few minutes and I also only put one stick of RAM in the furthest slot. Turned the computer on and it would just make it into BIOS screen and as I was trying to adjust the voltage to the RAM, the computer would freeze. Each subsequent tries only barely gets me into...
