so let me get this straight.

The 165 code is dead but there is a 170 code? if this is true can you pm me it? whats the expiration date?

I didnt buy mine to keep. I sold both the 165 and 170 already on ebay. 🙂

People on ebay pay heaps of cash for them. Sold the 165 for $380. Sold the 170 for $465. 🙂

How is yours doing?

The 170 code expires after 100 uses. Or 2/21 I think.

so the only real benefit from 170 over 165 is that 170 has 10x multi right?

 

[aboothman]

ya I suppose. Not an expert, but it seems that if I can keep the HTT lower, I can use my RAM at a better multi, or even 1:1.

You pay 35x for the 170, although OEM, and anywhere from $330-350 for a good 165 retail.

I bought one of each, so I will probably keep whatever OCs the best on stock or low volts and sell the others.

*edit the 170 deal was still good as of 7 tonight, assuming their inventory keeps track of the code usages. Google for the code

 

[Fallengod]

Oh dont worry. They count the code. 😛

Thats just BS to me, why should a deal be exclusive to a certain forum? Money is money right?

because monarch sponsored Hardforum (or the other way around)
