mine was OEM. 51c is high, keep 90nm chips under 50c.

51 c is fine
keep it under 60c to be safe

Found a link to a review here: http://www.madshrimps.be/?action=getarticle&articID=399 (had a look for competitors and it looks fine)

The stock heatsink seams to be a capable piece of kit by all accounts..

With 2 primes running it's hovering between 51-52 degrees, probably going to try bumping it up another 5MHz on the FSB..

Have any of you tried the stock cooler that comes with the 165. It is supposed to be pretty good. Its got 4 heat pipes.

I'm using it on my opty 165 until I get around to water-cooling it, it's fine: 280*9 @ 1.375V idle 20°C, load 40°C. I'm sure it'll go a fair bit higher but waiting until I have some time to play with it

Good luck with your 165 Vog . It seems to be a good stepping. Post your results once you have had a chance to play.

The MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum nForce3 Ultra is an AGP 939 mobo with 4 SATA sockets/slots. And in stock with overclockers.

AFAIK there isn't a S939 board that has had problems **unofficially** supporting the opteron. I have an Asus A8n32-SLI with an early opty 165(cabwe spmw0534) @ 2.6. If the board supports dual core (X2) chips then the s939 will also be supported as they are essentially also the same core (toledo). Can highly recommend the Asus (4 sata II ports) but if your looking to run SLI with dual slot coolers then perhaps you better look elswhere as the pci slots are a little cramped. I have a 512mb 7800GTX and if I had another one for SLI I fear I would have to forfeit another pci slot . At £500 a go tho it'll be a long time before I got the 2nd one
