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.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
