Well the Striker II Extreme has a different Northbridge that was meant to improove the overclockability and performance over the 780. But, although I love both its performance and overclockability, I can't get rid of the data corruption problem that sometimes causes a system freeze, other times it can't detect my SATA drives and others it just displays the RAID ACCESS FAILURE message. All these are not overclocking related. It is pretty sad but I'm seriously considering to switch to a P45 or X48 board.
BTW, it is weird if you can't OC the FSB at all. Maybe there are some FSB holes. Did if it works at higers FSBs, eg setting the FSB directly to 401. That's what I had to do with the P5B Deluxe to overcome the 360~370 FSB wall.
