Nice deal. I'd jump if I didn't have a 165 already .

Mwave, retail 170, ordered & picked up Nov. 12 '05alex paik said:where did you guys get your 0530's??

Impaqt said:Yes, but thats still a damn fine overclock. 2.8ghz should be possible on air if not more. THese chips are running cool.
Traditionally, the first runs of AMD Processors have been the best overclockers.
If I didnt just get my 144 (At 2.88Ghz Stbale on Air btw) I'd be getting a 170 right now... I still might
NOo0ooo... get an Opteron 165 or 170!!defrag said:I'm interested in this route.. only because I'm building a whole new box from the ground up.
Was looking to go the simple cookie cutter build of:
s939 4000+ SD core
kirbyrj said:You should get the Opteron . A 4000+ just isn't worth it. I'd get a X2 3800+ if you want the "cookie cutter" CPU.
you're comparing a $300 cpu to a $1000 cpudefrag said:the x2 3800+ only has a 512k cache no? and its a slower core..Atleast for gaming this wouldn't be the better solution, wouldn't the single core at 2.4ghz with 1mb cache prove to be better?

(cf)Eclipse said:you're comparing a $300 cpu to a $1000 cpu
the 165 is 200mhz slower than the 3800+ X2, but has 1mb per core instead of 512kb
ah, i thought you meant the 4800+defrag said:hehe, how so? the 939 4000+ Single Core San Diego is $334... :/
defrag said:Btw, I hate you all just for trying to convince me to go this route
Truth is.. I've never overclocked anything. I have a general understanding of how the FSB and what not work. I'm still trying to understand the HTT and what not. Still reading up on what I need to do in order to get this all to work.

defrag said:With all the cooling needed in the case and outside of the case.. this just doesn't seem the right path for me I'd have to spend an extra $100-200 on Fans and a Heatsink.
Actually I see people using the XP-90 or 120.. what else do I need with these heatsinks?
cx323 said:they come with just a heatsink so you have to attack a fan yourself. i would reccomend a panaflo or delta. if ur open to othe rheatsink suggestions i reccomend the tt big typhoon, it's huge, but it has great cooling
