Is this worth the money?

You guys are saying go with the 1600+ for $114, but why not spend an extra 14$ for the 1700+ or even an extra 50$ for the 1800+?

[eh?]

i was in the same bout about 2 weeks ago. i went with the 1600 because its the best overclocker. i had mine at 1743 stable and thats with the multiplier locked.

If you are overclocking what is the point in buying the more $$$ chip if it's the same chip as the cheap chip with a lower defualt multiplier?

Drdingo-

What is your FSB running at and what is your pci clock running at?

What kind of cooling are you using?

It was running on an asus board at 166 with multipliers at 10.5. i was using watercooling, but ihad to reset the waterblock and when i did i didn't notice that the block wasn't on all the way so it fried the chip:( i sent it back last week and ill be getting my new one tomarrow. let me see if i can dig up the benchmarks...i found it in one off my old threads right here (http://forums.overclockers.ws/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=55049)
