I have an Asus Striker (Non Extreme, if it matters) I would like to upgrade to a new Quad and 8Gb of Ram.

I presently have an E6850 and 4*1gb Corsairs, I was just wondering if anyone had the 45mm Quads working on this board or if I'm going to have to use a 6700? Also any RAM that will defo work as the QVL doesn't list any 2Gb sticks that work!


Thanks in advance, hopefully someone will have the answers!

Present Spec:

Asus Striker E6850
2*8800 Gtx
4Gb Corsair XMS Quad Matched
150Gb Raptor
320Gb WD
XP XP2
Pioneer DVD/RW
Antec P182
Silverstone 850W Modular

Exactly as I expected. 680i can't do Yorkfields. Only up to Wolfdales. Your best bet is Q6600. Q6700 is pretty pointless cuz the x10 multiplier won't be useful on air. Or even water. LN2/DICE, yes, x10+.

Thanks for that, just need to find out which memory will run in that board without loads of errors! CPU Init anyone!

Sorry, that link is for Extreme. This is for vanilla. Still no Yorkie support:

As for ram support, look it up in the manual.

Manual is useless for RAM support to be honest, has no 2gb sticks.......

online QVL is worse!
