It should work just fine. BUt the eVGA I had wouldn't do more than 265HTT, so don't plan on hitting high clocks with that 165.

I say sell it and get a DFI :D

I'm at 315HT so far with a passively cooled chipset with my EVGA... :)

How are you passively cooling your chipset? The chipset fan on my SLI eVGA Motherboard is the loudest thing in my case and I would love to shut it up.
Did you simply disconnect it ?

Nope. It took the chipset heatsink of my Chaintech VNF3-250 that I was replacing, cleaned up the chipset, and used some AS3 paste. Seems to be working well.

I'm all about quiet too..I already put a NV Silencer 5 on the 7800GT, and all I have for system fans is one 92mm Panaflo on the CPU, and one 120mm Panaflo exhaust on a fan controller set to the lowest speed possible...
