AYHJA AXIA ACPI Steppings

AYHJA & AXIA are CPU steppings. ACPI is unrelated, & is a power management function. Not sure on the C/Y/K thing, though.

Viper GTS
 
On the cpu it will not only say a speed (like 1000 MHz) it will have a stepping right after that, such as AXIA. AXIA and AYHJA are particular steppings which OC very well, most steppings will not do as good.

The line after the speed and stepping is a series of numbers and letters which indicate date the chip was made and where it was made. A letter Y is considered the best (generally) at overclocking. Also, any letter will be better than a number.

I have a 1 GHz AXIA Y, which is a good overclocker. SO far I have it at 1.43 GHz, but with my new HSF I hope to get 1.5GHz or more. I bought my cpu from pcnut for only like 160, which is a STEAL even for 1.4 GHz.
 


<< in what chips are these steppings used? over 1ghz?

Edit: also, i can't find what a stepping is ... athlonoc is down >>



Any chip CAN have an AXIA stepping as far as I know, I have seen a 750 t-bird AXIA, but these are rare. 1 - 1.33 GHz are where most AXIAS are. I think AYHJA is more for 1.2-1.4 GHz. I dunno, never had an AYHJA.
 


<< are there any other stores that specify what type it is like &quot;axia y&quot;? >>



bzboys or something but their reseller rating sucks, and I neve used them.

There are more, but I havent used them so I dont remember them.
 

If you want to be absolutely sure of the cpu stepping and &quot;third line&quot; serial #, just go to www.atacom.com, click on their cpu image and scroll down to Athlons
They list AHYJA's, Y serials, even &quot;blue cores&quot; (made in Germ)
You pay a little more, but you know exactly what you are getting
