im going to be using an Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe and the ram/components listed in my sig (btw, im getting the stuff on friday). i know its up to the chip and possibly stepping to give me the oc, but i want to know what you guys have gotten with your opteron 170s and also 165s...i will also be using a thermalright xp90 instead of the stock heatsink.
also, ive read that newegg's latest shipments of opterons are just rebadged X2s since they are toledo cores and have the X2 memory controller, also the fact that they dont overclock as high as they used to. i dont know if those things are true or not...i believe the stepping newegg is currently shipping is LCB9E.
thanks for your time, as im a newbie to amd (used an intel p4 2.4C @ 2.95 for years, so i didnt need to mess with any ht speeds, speedstep/cool-quiet or dividers at all) and have no idea how this works.
