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.

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.  
    • My steering lock unit on my Infiniti G37 has failed. The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly.
