Question: Opteron, Overclock and Cool'n'Quiet

[eNe]

I'll soon build a new system with a dual core opteron 165 or 170,
and i've some questions...

I've read that opteron cpus don't have the cool'n'quiet technology but they have PowerNow!.

If a mobo is CnQ capable also PowerNow will be supported?

I was thinking on using a A8N32-SLI board, i've seen that it supports opteron cpus but i've found nothing about powernow.
and also, if i'll overclock my cpu i'll be able to activate CnQ, or PowerNow?

using cool 'n quiet is not recommended if your overclocking
im not sure about the powernow! though.

Opteron 200 series processors have Cool 'N Quiet and PowerNow! support. I don't see why the Socket 939 based Opterons wouldn't. Especially since they are much closer to X2's than 200 series Opterons are.
