Quick one here. I have an Opteron 175 and I believe it's a 0543 stepping. Should I use the 10x multi (like all the 170 users), or should I use the 11x multiplyer to reach a high maxiumum stable OC?

Also, if I had water cooling, would it be ok to pump 1.52 volts through it? And why should the single core Optys be allowed to get more voltage than a Dual core one?

You should use whatever multiplier gives you the best combination with your RAM (max RAM speed with best timings).

As for 1.52V, sure.
I'd try to stay at 1.55V or below for dual core X2/Opties, but that's just me.

I checked your rig in sig link, & if 2.6 GHz is your max OC, & that's your RAM (very nice btw), i'd run it at 10*260 with RAM 1:1.
Easily the best choice based on what you have listed.
