Asus or DFI

Got an opteron 165 and dont know which board to put it in!

Currently got a asus A8N SLI premium and a DFI SLI-D. I am currently using the dfi on an opteron 146 watercooled. Which board should I put the 165 in?

I will be overclocking (146 got up to 3 ghz) and watercooling.

Cheers

Since the 165 has the lower multiplier you'll probably want the DFI for the higher HTT frequencies it offers.

I have the 4400+ on the Asus board, and it happily does 260 HTT, but you'll probably want to go higher than that with the 165 to get the most from it.
