so what happened with the no post? does it work now? and did you overclock?

I'm gonna start calling you Spammer92.... lol.
A friend came by and interrupted my progress. ;) I'm on it now and it seems that the gpu isn't liking me or something. grrrrrrrrrrrrr....
A PNY 8800GTS 320MB.... :D
....gm
lol, is there a way for me to change my ID to Spammer92? hehe
i guess i am just feeling really good that i have a 1000 dollar chip for less than 300 bucks....3.2ghz (if it stays stable)
but at the same time, let down
and i saw a review website only pull 3.4ghz on the striker extreme and that was with a Core 2 Extreme (Kentsfield)...
so i guess i am on par....they used a 11x multiplier

Don't know what's really going on.... hmmmm.... Seems when I turned off the LED button on the I/O panel it tried to 'start'... BUT it still wouldn't post. Hit clr/CMOS button on mobo and pulled the battery to "remove" all doubt and return to original setup. Still nothing... and it's HOT too... Didn't take it but a few minutes to heat up.... warm/hot to the touch.... NEVER had that happen before... I'll look into it tomorrow... It's late here and I gotta get up early... plus I don't need any mistakes right now... ;)

are you talking about the graphics card or the CPU?

SB, NB, CPU, and RAM; didn't check the gpu... lol. Figured it was all hot... :( Like I said I'll look at it tomorrow and see if I can figure anything out... Doesn't make sense.. I was running it off my ATi card a few weeks ago to do some ODD testing and it ran fine!!! Ripped like a champ, burned pretty danged good, and was pretty speedy... I think that I even ran DVD RB to see how fast it was. Going off memory so don't write it down... lol...

I know you said you will do this tomorrow.
So read this tomorrow...:
There is a jumper next to the CMOS Clear button, set it (pin 2-3 instead of pin1-2) so that when the CMOS Clear button is pressed in, the red light goes off. This is what clears the CMOS. I am sure all your hardware is fine. Everytime something goes terribly wrong on the Striker's, they crawl in their shell like turtles (not letting you boot)....try that and then don't change the jumper back to default. This way, when ever you run into problems, you just have to press the button once, leave it for 10 seconds, and press it again. Boot your computer, and it should work.
Hope everything works out for ya,

as of now stable at 3.2ghz with 1.45v CPU voltage
i think that if this works, i will just stay at this speed...
its at 356FSB x 9 = 3207mhz as of now
lol, about a 100mhz better than my e6300
Glad to see you're still working it out. One small point. When you have some degree of success say at 3.37GHz and then it fails Orthos after 2 hours, you don't necessarily need to drop it by over 1000 Mhz. I've seen drops of 20 or 30 MHz that has taken a partially stable overclock to complete success. Two hours suggests that you were near you sweet spot, so then you try it at 33 GHz and try it again, and it goes like that.

Yes I've been reading about other efforts to overclock quad cores with the striker extreme 680i chipset, the 780i is supposed to have improved. I was actually looking at the high end Asus boards but I kept running into less than favorable reports so I decide to stick with the lower priced P5Q Deluxe since Intel will be releasing Nehalem and the X58 chipset soon.
Another point: I've heard that the North Bridge chipset has problems with heat and many are recommending that it be set to auto so you guys might want to disregard my earlier overvolt setting suggestion and try it at stock.

well
i got my q6700 stable to 3.6ghz!!! with a loooooot of voltage tho 1.525set in bios but with the vdroop, its at 1.48v...is it alright to run this voltage 24/7?

you think it might run at a higher clock speed at stock NB voltages?
EDIT 1: since i am already at 3.6ghz.....do you think 3.8 would be possible?
EDIT 2: nvm, i backed it down to 3.4ghz, i got scared that i would kill the CPU at such high voltages...and it wasn't stable at those voltages either....i really really need to do a volt mod...my motherboard vdroops almost .2vs!!!

If you're doing that well then don't mess with what's working, you will have to test things for yourself. There's nothing more that I can do to help. Glad things are looking up.

ok thx
well, i am feeling a lil better now cause my cousin can "only" do 3.2ghz with his q9450 on an x38 board...
i will post sum prime 95 stable pics up later (at 3.4ghz as it turned out not to be stable at 3.6 and also because of the really high voltage required for that to even boot up)...

I generally consider 1.4 something alright, but to be on safe side, that would include the BIOS as well as the real voltage attained.

i think it IS my motherboard that is holding me back
it vdroops a looot, do you think i should try the vdroop mod for the motherboard?
will a steady voltage help me at all?
i can run mass effect / rainbow 6 vegas 2 fine but prime fails...i think the motherboard doesn't provide the cpu enough voltage under 100% load
right now i am at 3.3ghz...stable
3.4 wasn't stable after about 45mins of Prime 95

Is it a shady pencil mod or similar? I'd be a bit wary of those.

no, you can either use a conductive pen or solder for the mod.....
but i guess you are right
also, i would have to take the motherboard out in order to do the mod and after all this overclocking crap i ain't feeling up to it!
will this chip overclock really good in an x48 motherboard?
and how much do you think i can get for this ASUS Striker....i might just sell this and get an x48 if all i have to put in is less than a hundred bucks...

conductive pen = pencil mod = flames = cost. I don't want to hear anyone tell me it doesn't happen, it does, it has, and it hurts.

have you done it to one of your motherboards in the past?
what happened if/when you did?

well thats good to hear
too bad for those ppl, i hate killing hardware myself (i have killed my share of motherboards, hehe), fortunately they were all the "free" motherboards that you get from Fry's whenever you buy a CPU from them...

I've only killed Asus boards, and I don't blame myself, but that's another story. I would say I smoked my old MSI MS-6775 off a cheap PSU, but it still worked afterwards, after all the smoke and flames... Note - this is not an excuse to think you can get away with cheap PSUs! lol

Well I managed to read up and find out pin/pad mod I could do on my E2180, tried to used a pencil but that didn't work so I used a thin piece of copper wire and bent and electrical tapped it on. It works now thinks it's a 1066mhz fsb 2.66ghz, runs pretty standard 35C under load highest was 48C ran stress test didn't run into any problems. My only question now is i know i can mod it to a 1333mhz fsb, but i don't know if i should since my P965T-A doesn't support it even though the bios shows it can.

it won't boot up if the motherboard doesn't support 1333mhz FSB cpus natively....
same case with my striker, it can overclock to 1600mhz fsb but that doesn't mean i can use a 1600mhz fsb cpu in it! i can only overclock a 1066mhz or a 1333mhz fsb cpu to 1600mhz....

Without know what your stuff is there is a possibility that the voltage settings on your RAM might be a little be too low. Some enthusiast RAM requires a higher than default setting to post. If you have some lower quality RAM try using that and then if it boots go into bios and increase the RAM voltage to the desired level.
If that's not it then check to see if you've accidentally loosened a panel connection.
