Damn, gone for ONE weekend!!! wtf is AXIA?

[smp]

^ thanks.

its the chip code found mostly on 1.2ghz and a few found on 1ghz. Tehy are apparently the best for Ocing (1.5ghz approx w/ good cooling)

okay.. so that's been discovered with compuwiz's 1gig @ 1.5 eh? Other ppl are getting that too? Sweet.

I just cranked my AXIA to 10.5 x 133 from 9 x 133.. Pretty sweet... I am usin a Tiasol with a Delta skreecher on it.. Pretty cooL! Now to crank up the FSB!!

 

[tlemmon]

BTW... my chip came unlocked... no pencil trick here!

 

[yiwonder]

are all of the Thunderbirds coming unlocked or just the 1.2?

Wow, these AXIA chips sound awesome. I'm still running my Celery 300A @ 450Mhz, but it's been on for two years, and I think it's going to kick the bucket soon, so it's time for a replacement.

Got a few quick questions:

1.) Where do I look for the AXIA marking on the chip?
2.) Is the 200 MHz FSB or 266 better for OC'ing?
3.) 1.0 GHz, or 1.2 Ghz, which is better for OC?
4.) What kind of themal compounds are you guys using? I've heard of people using Arctic Silver. Where can I pick some of this stuff up?
5.) WilL OC'ing these chips require cutting the bridges? Connecting the bridges, I'm pretty sure I can do, but I don't think I want to risk cutting a bridge on a $200+ chip. What's a good compound (besides pensil lead) to connect bridges?
6.) Recommended fans and heat sinks?
7.) What's the going rate for these chips? There's a deal at my local Fry's. Abit-KT7A/RAID + 1.2 Ghz 266 FSB Tbird for $379.

Any input would be greatly appreciate.

Well I was farting around with my 1.1gig 200mhz fsb Tbird(trying to break one of the L6 bridges to lower my multiplier so I can use it at 133fsb+ on my Iwill)-everything was going great-it looked like the bridge was seperated so I popped it in and no boot-damn it was a nice chip-did 1350. So I went to the local shop and asked if they had any 266mhz fsb Tbirds-1.1-1.3 gig-they didnt but they had 266mhz fsb 1gig Tbirds and with the AXIA code-bought one and right now I am totally stable at 1400mhz right now!!

This is why you should take your puter with you on vacation.

 

[broadwayblue]

how high should the axia 1.2ghz 266 go?

DARRIN, is your 1.2 an axia?

 

[NoShitMan]
