i will only buy a 170 if i can get higher. But i thought that all cores where the same. So a 165 could get as high as a 170. Or is AMD picking the better ones a putting them on all from 170 an higher ?

a lot of the 170's are the same stepping as the 175's

CCBWE 0530TPMW

these get to 2800+mHz on near stock voltage

most of the 165's are different stepping from what I've seen

transam: sorry for your early demise on that nice stepping opty
