Opteron 165 Multiplier Unlocked?

[RedShirt]

I am considering buying an Opteron 165, but I do not know if they are multiplier unlocked.

I searched the forums for "Opteron Unlocked" and found nothing

I also searched Google and found conflicting reports.

Some people say they are fully unlocked, while others say that only multipliers lower than default are unlocked.

I believe the Opteron 165 is downward unlockable...comes with default 9 multi.

their locked as far as multi's upwards from 9x. so if you want to OC it, you'd better have a good mobo.

the 170 has a 10x max multiplier i belive, so if your mobo cant go that high you might want to look into buying a 170.

the FX series is unlocked, however the only dual core FX is the FX60 at this time, which is... expensive...

This basically means "money saved" for me

Was thinking about getting a combo from Monarch that they are talking about in the hot deals forums, but if the higher multipliers are not unlocked then no way.

Thanks
