ASUS Striker Extreme, v.1603 BIOS (august 08)
E8400 Penryn-Wolfdale processor
Dual Seagate 7200.10's in RAID0
Dual BFG 9600 GT graphics cards, enabled to "SLI" in nVidia Control panel running under VISTA 64
So far, (evident in other threads I've posted here lately), I've been stress-testing with PRIME95. I'm swapping a pair of 2x2GB Corsair DDR2-800 DHX modules for a set of G.SKILL DDR2-1000 2x2GB. VISTA 64 now has the SP1 update, so there should be no problem with either memory kit.
But I've stumbled across mention (in forums) that the "SLI memory [Enabled/Disabled]" feature may affect stability.
I currently have this feature turned off. One user suggested that "Enable" with "CPUOC 0%" was an optimal setting.
This system IS -- and WILL BE -- over-clocked from 3.0 to 3.6 Ghz, while the memory (Corsair) will be run at stock settings, or (G.SKILL) below spec and at DDR=800.
Is anyone available to explain this BIOS feature (SLI-memory enabled . . . . CPU OC 0%, etc. etc.)? Or can you point me to some forum or "how-to" post/web-site which will clarify it?
