Striker extreme overclocking advice with my setup
First, here's the setup
Asus Striker Extreme 680i
Intel 6850 cpu w/ Asetek Low Cost Liquid Cooler
3x 8800 Ultras SLI
2x1gb Corsair Dominators
2x150gb raptors (raid 0)
NZXT 1200W PS
My main issue is that when I start to mess with the voltages, save & exit bios, it doesn't restart. The monitor shuts off and never turns back on. I can hit the restart button and it'll turn on just fine and I didn't have to clear cmos.
From a clean start (cmos clearing or load defaults), I up'd multiplier to 10x. Up'd fsb to 1400. Set ram timings 5-5-5-15-2t. Set fsb/ram to a 3/2 divider. At this point, I can 'save & exit' bios and it'll restart just fine and go back into bios. (I haven't even installed the OS yet)
My problem starts when I try to set any voltages. Even if I just up memory voltage to 2.2v as what's noted for the Dominator series, my pc won't do a reboot, unless I power down completely and start up again or press the restart button.
If I go back into bios and reset all the voltages to auto, the reboot issue sticks around still unless I 'load defaults' and then it's fine again.
Any ideas on overclocking this guy?
