Problem with OC program

Tiger

New Member
I bought an ASUS Striker II Formula, and it the DVD it has comes with a lot a stuff to install. One of them is AI Suite, which has a couple of features including the OC program AI booster. For some reason when I try to OC to over 10%, Vista won't load. If anyone knows a better OC program please tell me or help me with this program. The version of AI Suite is 1.03.16.
Just so you know, when I overclock to 10%, my CPU temperature stays at or under 40 degrees Celsius. When every CPU core is a 100%, the temperature is 56 degrees Celsius.

Before you overclock your 65nm quad core, you need to invest in decent cooling. They get hot and the stock Intel heatsink and fan just isn't going to cut it.

The second thing you're going to want to do is read, and read a lot. The very best "OC Software" is that grey stuff between your ears. No other installable tool comes close. Start here: Howto: Overclock C2q (quads) And C2d (duals) - A Guide V1.7 - OverclockersClub Forums

I will second that, that tutorial is one of the best I've ever read. and was the only thing that was able to teach me to get stable past 3.6 GHz on my Quad. it's great.. the RAM divider info, and more important for me but not you, the nforce Nvidia GTLREF settings saved me.

either way it's a great read. make sure you get something like a Tuniq Tower, or a TRUE cooler for your cpu, then oc. also I'd not recommend using there software. ASUS software causes problems, and I've heard a few horror stories. don't even use it, and just OC on your own in the BIOS.. much much safer and better way.
go into BIOS, and try something mild like 3.0 GHz. or set FSB to 1333 and see. that should work fine with none, to very little vcore raise.

I could never get all that ASUS OC stuff to work properly either. I just used the stuff in BIOS.

You're much better off using your brain, the interface is much easier to use.

I have a striker II and anything on that dvd is out dated.
-many voltage setting need to be done to overclock on this board to make it stable
-I would go to the asus motherboard forum for the striker II and ask there. I'am over there every day.
-after a rough voltage adjustments the bios is the best place to OC
-The auto settings on the striker are low for most CPU's and the auto settings either ramp up too high or not high enough
-striker II does not like quads when the bios is set to auto

-http://vip.asus.com/forum/topic.aspx?board_id=1&model=Striker+II+Formula&SLanguage=en-us
-bios 1602 is the latest and the best one so far
-but needs care to load on this board see the forums use EZ flash II not windows update
-once set up it is a good board ,but it needs to be set up ,that,s why your small 10% OC failed ,to put it another way the default bios settings are to just get you to a bootable system and that's it - any stress and it will crash in most cases.
that a side , the big problem with this board are the nb-sb chips temps and can only be seen in the bios or the retail verison of Everest. So hot - asus won't show them in the utilities ,and in the last couple of bios's sets - the default shut down temp is set to 110c from 90c to cut back on the RMA's
-the heat pipes - if the Northbridge -south bridge temps are higher than 60c-65c , it should be remounted ,mine run in the low 50's ,with two cards , 5 drives
--sounds like a lot of work ,but this is not a plug and play board , but it runs fast with the right settings.
-and it depends what your use is for - gaming ? if so it needs to be stable to handle the stress - OC or not.
-not knowing the room temps ,the temps you stated could be low or high ,and what program did you read them from ?
-download CORE TEMPS in see what the temps are like in that,
-good luck
