time has come to overclock the PC i have now to squeeze more out of it before in about a years time going to an i7 chip, board and ddr3

Currently 8gb kingston value ram

2X 5870 Ati cards in crossfire

win 7 64bit

e8400 intel dual core @3.00ghz

as the KV ram @ 800mhz i have at the moment is a bit unreliable once the overclocking begins i'm looking into going some decent gamin ram like dominator etc

i'm unsure if my gigabyte ga-ep45-ds3p card can handle 1066 ram and if it doesn't will it work and be of any benifet

i'm lookin for about 3.5ghz to allow for detailed clouds whilst running fsx with a frame rate >25 with nearly full graphics

thanks

You can just buy some PC2-8500 sticks (1066) for $100

I CBF checking all my settings, but depending on the clock rate etc you might have to lower the ram timing anyway.

You could probably get away with the sticks you have now, if you go back to 4gb of ram.

My 1066 sticks are @ 450, 1:1 with 2T.

Thats for 4.1ghz with the mutli on 9x

My CPU has run this basically 24x7 for the last 3-4 years so if you have good cooling you should aim a bit higher than 3.5 IMO. You'll hit 4 easily.

4 sticks wont help your over clocking, should stick to 2.

apparently this mobo can use up to 1333 ram but i cant find any anywhere, its all ddr3 now :(

have 4 sticks of 2gb ram and the overclocking has not begun, doing more research before i begin.

the KVR are woeful at overclocking and i would rather just get better ram than spending ages messing with average hardware.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
