Right. There's a 15 euro difference between these two. I'm hoping somebody will shed some light as to what the difference is between the two, aside from the .2 GHz in clock speed! Different cooler perhaps? will the 965 operate @ 3.4 at lower temps than if one were to up the lcok on a 955 for example? More overclocking head…

Any advice appreciated!

higher headroom on the 965 for overclocking, apparently 4ghz is achievable on the c3 stepping 965, moreso than the 955.
Just ordered a c3 965 myself. I had a bugger finding one
