Angry_Games Posted July 20, 2006 so...the 1000mhz ht does not matter that much ? lol does anyone actually pay attention that at all? I never do I pay attention to cpu mhz, and how good they overclock HT = has zero to do with performance (i get the same performance setting the HT (LDT) multi @ 3.0x, 4.0x, 5.0x) from all that I have tested I have a feeling AMD intended it to be some number that would wow you via relation to performance it is just a number that gets in teh way as far as I am concerned Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
big poppa pump Posted July 20, 2006 Opterons over any of the 3XXX series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SeanDude05 Posted July 20, 2006 Opty will generally overclock better. Get the 146 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest caffeinejunkie Posted July 20, 2006 If the price wasnt there 3700 all the way but you cant beat that price so 146. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kowalino Posted July 20, 2006 The 146 is less expensive Overclocks great and is a sweet chip I would go opty anytime MK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
disturbed6dws Posted July 20, 2006 and also - looking at this other thread here on the forum, for the dual core opteron 165 for only $230 dollars with a coupon code - that would be pretty much the ultimate buy for a processor for around $200 dollars....am i correct ?

dr_bowtie Posted July 21, 2006 The HT speed of 1000 and 2000 are the same for both chips...They are just labled different... they are still both 200 x 2 x 5 = HT speed... = 2000mhz... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RubberDuck Posted July 21, 2006 IMO I would get the Opty 146 :cool: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oc newbie Posted July 21, 2006 i just got a cab1e 0614epaw from monarch and so far this chip is awesome, so id say go with the opty 146. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
michaelzhao Posted July 21, 2006 If your looking at the 165, then try to get the CCBBE 0610 steppings. If the 146, try for a CABYE a CABNE or a CAB2E. Those all overclock pretty well. Then again, almost any stepping will hit 2.5 ghz with ease. So yeah, 146 over 3700 in a heartbeat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
