665edo is best known for its extremely accurate fifth, only 0.00011 cents compressed. 665edo is the denominator of a convergent to log<sub>2</sub>3, after [[41edo]], [[53edo]] and [[306edo]], and before [[15601edo]]. However, it also provides the [[optimal patent val]] for the rank-4 temperament tempering out [[4000/3993]]. It tempers out the [[satanic comma]], {{monzo| -1054 665 }} in the 3-limit; the [[enneadeca]], {{monzo| -14 -19 19 }}, and the [[monzisma]], {{monzo| 54 -37 2 }} in the 5-limit; the [[ragisma]], 4375/4374, the [[meter]], 703125/702464, and {{monzo| 36 -5 0 -10 }} in the 7-limit; [[4000/3993]], 46656/46585, [[131072/130977]] and 151263/151250 in the 11-limit, providing the optimal patent val for the 11-limit [[brahmagupta]] temperament. In the 13-limit, it tempers out [[1575/1573]], [[2080/2079]], [[4096/4095]] and [[4225/4224]]; since it tempers out 1575/1573, the nicola, it [[support]]s nicolic tempering and hence the [[nicolic chords]], for which it provides an excellent tuning. In the 17-limit it tempers out [[1156/1155]], 1275/1274, 2058/2057, 2500/2499 and [[5832/5831]]; in the 19-limit it tempers out 969/968, [[1445/1444]], 2432/2431, 3136/3135, 3250/3249 and 4200/4199; in the 23-limit it tempers out 1288/1287, 1863/1862, 2025/2024, 2185/2184 and 2737/2736.
665edo provides excellent approximations for the 7-limit intervals and harmonics 13, 17, 19 and 23. It is considered as the excellent 2.3.5.7.13.17.19.23 subgroup temperament, on which it is consistent in the [[27-odd-limit]] (with no elevens). 665edo provides poor approximations for the 11-limit intervals, with two mappings possible for the [[11/8]] fourth: a sharp one from the [[patent val]], and a flat one from the 665e val. Using the 665e val, 41503/41472, 42592/42525, 160083/160000, and 539055/537824 are tempered out in the 11-limit.

It is considered as the excellent 2.3.5.7.13.17.19.23 subgroup temperament, on which it is consistent in the 27-odd-limit (with no elevens). Despite its division number of the octave, 665edo provides poor approximations for the 11-limit intervals, with two mappings possible for the [[11/8]] fourth: a sharp one from the patent val, and a flat one from the 665e val. Using the 665e val, 41503/41472, 42592/42525, 160083/160000, and 539055/537824 are tempered out in the 11-limit.


Maximal evenness scale deriving from the 118 & 665 temperament, known as [[vavoom]], can also theoretically serve as a calendar leap week cycle corresponding to a year length of 365d 5h 48m 37+17/19s, about 7 seconds shorter than the average length of the tropical year today. Given the excellence of both 118 and 665 in 5-limit, this is a great point of intersection of solar calendar leap rules and just intonation-based temperaments.
