The 2666MHz Apacer RAM running at 2666MHz sounds better than the 2400MHz Apacer running at 2400MHz or any slower speed. 

 

 

 

I went to Apacer's website and found many choices, Please excuse me if I missed the answer for this question I'm about to ask -   Do you have a Apacer Product part number as per your reference of the  2666MHz Apacer RAM running at 2666MHz ?

 

Thanks

Here is the Apacer part number:  D31.23185S.001

 

 

Thanks, that makes purchasing much easier - I'm sure I would have surely messed this up without the info.

Someone, not me(!), bought out Mouser’s entire stock of this RAM.  Looks like they have 10-15 sticks on order per month. 

 

The B-st-rds !

Grounding with Minadax® ESD antistatic mat and grounding cable

 

Every time I shuffle over the carpet to the power amplifiers, I get an electric shock when I switch on. 😂

This is very harmful when assembling sensitive electronic parts. I therefore use a grounded antistatic mat. I am also grounded through a bracelet. I connected the crodcodile clips to the protective contact of a socket. I also wear ESD gloves.

 

 

This happened to me when listening to my audio a few months ago, somehow the static electricity transmitted through my pre-amp volume knob when I touched it and signal traveled thru to my outbaord DAC - it went away after rebooting the DAC, was a scary moment as I feared that damaged was a result. Everything seems to be working ok now.

 

I now make a habit of touching my metal "Audio Rack" frame prior to adjusting the volume.

 

Good advise for when building a pc tho'

The fis Audio PC fits my equipment quite well.

 

 

 

 

 

Ver nice, I assume is HDPLEX?  Did you build this with two (dual PC) motherboards inside? Would love to see a pic of the components if possible.  

 

I'm still trying to figure out to make one piece unit or build dual PC, not made up my mind yet.  

 

I may need a bit more guidence on component choices, This forum is full of great info.

 

Thanks
