A week or so ago I posted a thread about having problems getting a P5N32-E SLI Plus above 344 fsb stable. Well, I gradually kept backing down on the O/C until I was at 3.0ghz/333FSB, then one day the board just took a dump and wouldn't boot at 3.0 and wouldn't run stable even at 7x333 or 2333 mhz. I've got a 1.325 VID g0 Q6600 and the first day I had it it ran 12+ hours stable prime95 at 3.0 ghz at 1.45v.
Anyway, long story short I now have a Striker Extreme. I am having problems with getting this board above 333fsb with the quad core as well, although I left it running prime95 with 4 threads for about 17 hours today and it was perfectly fine at 9x333 1.475v. The kicker, though, is that after I got home from work I got on the net a bit, checked out a few things, and then when I looked at my prime95 window again one of the threads had given a rounding error. Should I be concerned about that, or is that somewhat commonplace when running prime95 25.5 along with doing other things on the PC? I have a little room on the heat to go up to 1.48125v, and honestly 17 hours stable on prime95 is probably enough for me unless other apps start acting up.
Why am I unable to get the board any higher than 333? Looking around the net and on xtremesystems I see that other people are getting strikers and g0 quads up to 400fsb no problem these days with the 1303 bios. Am I doing something wrong? What kind of voltages are safe for the striker northbridge in an Antec 900 with PLENTY of air cooling?
