Cujo October 30, 2006 Share Cujo Member October 30, 2006 that an option. there was a little article on the inq a couple days back that i can't seem to find now that said something about the price cuts taking a while to filter down in the us.

DNA October 31, 2006 Author Share DNA Member October 31, 2006 ya it was saying the 30th and after maybe some more cuts....the 165 is 165 and the 175 is like 239....just was woundering what you thought of bang for the buck on the 165...can I OC it about 2.6-2.7?

Laz.e.rus October 31, 2006 Share Laz.e.rus Member October 31, 2006 I have a 165 at 2.8 on a Big typhoon cooler. I paid $365 for it a few months back All 165's should be good to at least 2.5 Some up to 3 and over ( although pushing 3 and up is usually water cooled) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNA October 31, 2006 Author Share DNA Member October 31, 2006 so instead of the x2 4800+ at $265, this would be just as good if not better. Does the HT make a difference, I know the x2's have 2000mHz, and the Opt's only 1000mHz....what you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo October 31, 2006 Share Cujo Member October 31, 2006 (edited) they both have 2000. it's just written wrong. it's actually 1000x2 for full duplex. i recommended at the time that laz get the 170 for the 10x multi. that way you're less limited by your mobo. either way with an opti 2.6 is almost guaranteed.
