    Asus Rampage III Extreme - IOH temp very high

    You may need to double check the heatsink contact. I've read other reports of it not sitting correctly on the chip.

    Asus Striker Extreme

    I purchased my Striker back in December, and opted for these Dominators, I also picked up the Corsair fan. There's faster RAM out now, but so far the 8500s have been really good to me. At the price, they're kinda hard to beat if Corsair is still using the Micron ICs.

    where is the official ASUS STRIKER EXTREME thread

    I'm guessing that most of the chipsets are going to Foxconn for the BFG, evga and ECS branded 680i boards. So Abit, ASUS and MSI are only receiving low quantities.

    Asus Striker Extreme

    I bought a Striker, and so far it has performed well. Although I have found the FSB holes that everyone has mentioned about the 680i boards. My only complaint, other than the less than friendly slot layout, is the LCD poster flashing randomly when Probe II is running.

    NVIDIA nForce 680i

    According to everything I can see, DDR2-800/667/533. It also states Front Side Bus 1066 and 1333* (*While NVIDIA Technology will provide FSB speeds beyond spec. the processor must also be capable of this speed.)

    NVIDIA nForce 680i

    It was $279. I prob paid way too much, the local store jabs the price on new items like this.

    Multi GPU Fix on any Dual PCI-E x8 or x16 Official Fix Pending

    Ah, now I see what everyone's ah heck is, you want an Intel 975x branded motherboard with official SLi support, not a SLi motherboard that supports Core 2, (my bad). Well, as much as I agree with the JEDEC standards discussion here, I really think that this is a mute point, since nVidia is...

    ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe Installation Issues

    I beliee that there a section on the CD that came with the A8N32 called "Make Floppy". I'm not sure that this will fix your issue though. You may need to run the set-up cd that came with your SATA drives first to format the drives.

    A8N32-SLI Deluxe Quick Question

    Thanks for your reply! It seems that this motherboard operates correctly with the ACPI Uniprocessor PC HAL, which is weird since that HAL is for a multiple-processor board running a single processor.

    You may want to look at the MSI K8N Diamond Plus, it's a little tricky to find in stock, but I've read good things on it.

    If I could enlist a little assistance from anyone using this motherboard and a single core CPU, I would be very grateful. Please check under Computer in Device manager, and tell me which HAL you are running. From everything that I've read, this combo should be using; ? Advanced...
