The ASUS Striker Extreme is an enthusiast board, and as such can overclock to well past FSB1066 speeds. 45nm support shouldn't be a problem either as long as the CPU uses the LGA775 socket. In short, the only way that the Striker Extreme could 'limit' a gaming system is with DDR2 vs. DDR3...

'Hey, I think TechGage is on to something here.' 'Yeah?' 'Yeah, there's some great ideas and criticism in their review.' 'Such as?' 'Well for starters, it looks like we need to change our target market...'

Either of the boards you listed will be fine. 680i and P35 boards should all do about the same, so there is no 'best' board. Just get a decent chipset (680i if you want SLI) and decide based on feature set and price.

Heh, let's see... Ghostbusters Karate Kid Dr. Jekel & Mr. Hyde Friday the 13th Back to the Future . . I never had an NES, but games like those make for hilarious angry nerds.

Do you know what the CPU's max FSB is? Have you increased the SB voltage as well? Have you asked ASUS wtf?

Hey, at least it'd make a great porn cam. ...What?

Every time I knife-kill someone from underneath while jumping in the air in CS:S, I do my 'sho-ryu-ken' impression. I don't think anyone's gotten it yet, but I find it hilarious. I never really got a chance to play SF3 - SF2/turbo/hyperfighting/championship edition/super SF2 was just about the...

That 650 combo looks like a great way to fill a PCI-E 1x slot. I will definitely have to look into it.

My mom would always tell me that 8 cores was too much. She'd say, 'You can't handle octal core!' /wipes eyes

What? Since when is Xbox 360 lacking good titles? I'm not exactly Mr. bleeding edge when it comes to game consoles, but I haven't seen any Wii games making news lately - from what I know the best Wii game is Zelda, which was available when the console was released. The PS3 isn't delivering...

Joke?

Speaking for myself, I think P35 is what's hurting X38's sales. I'm still not sure what this 'enthusiast' chipset does so much better than P35. Maybe when PCI-E 2.0 starts getting used I'll understand - but by then I'll probably have something better.

As of now, no Intel chipset supports nVidia SLI - including X38. If you want to use SLI, you need an nVidia chipset (like 680i). Intel chipsets only support ATI crossfire. With regard to supporting both technologies: I have heard that Intel's somewhat-soon-to-be-released 'Skulltrail' chipset...

Coretemp is showing 54-55C, and I trust that program more than the others. Tjunction relates to the calibration of the reported temps. I am not familiar enough with CoreTemp to understand it's exact function or to change it. Speedfan's readings are all suspect (the CPU reading fluctuates from...

Well, here's about where I'm at with the load temps. Room temp is ~23.5C. These B3 cores aren't the best when it comes to temps, but 3.2Ghz is nice. I haven't had loads of free time lately so trying to get a higher stable OC isn't that critical to me at the moment. The 8800GTX is at 638/938 at...

Yes! That's what I was talking about, I couldn't remember the name of it or who made it since I've never had the pleasure of using one. Why don't more board companies do this??

I'm pretty impressed with how nice that on-board browser is looking, however I don't think that an enthusiast board is the best place for it - the only time I could imagine using that browser is if the rig went down and I had to order something on-line. I would think that a feature like this...

That's a very good question. The only thing I can think of is that your monitor isn't being recognized somewhere - but I have no idea how to resolve that since even my old CRT is plug-and-play.

Thanks for your recommendation. I understand what you are saying, and this change would work. I will explain why I set it up with the fans blowing in. I wanted to maintain positive pressure in the top of the case in order to help prevent dust from being sucked in between the nylon spacer...

Fillport moved and lights added Ok, so I wanted to try and make this thing easier to bleed, so instead of using the two side ports on the top of the reservoir, I decided to try using one side port (for the return) and the top port for the fill/bleed line. With the revision 2 'base', there is a...
