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.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
