How easy is it to get the most out of an Opteron 170?

[Tomash]

I'm buying an Opteron 170 (Denmark core) next week, and I'm wondering how hard would it be to push it to FX-60 levels?
I'm also buying 2GB (2 x 1GB) of OCZ Platinium DDR500 RAM, and a DFI LanParty UT nF4 Ultra-D.
And a Sapphire X1900XT.
So, will I be able to reach that kind of performance on stock cooling?

PS
I'm not a master of OCing, but I can hold my own. Though I have been "gone from the scene" for like 2 years.

I see yours is pushed to 2.7GHz. Considering the FX-60 is running at 2.6GHZ, is yours faster in real-world performance?

Comparing single core to dual core is not the same IMO.

Btw, my opteron 165 got to 2.61 GHz right now with 1.36v. Not much off stock vcore.

I'm talking mainly gaming performance, and comparing fps data is rather easy.

More than likely they'd probably be the same then lol

I don't see any single-core vs dual-core comparison?

No, in this thread and he's right Opteron 170 to FX-60 is direct comparison, and Ricemarine needs this year's eye exam, because TecHNooB's sig plainly states a dual-core chip.
