"AXIA" Tbird - lowdown?

[sanaka]

I don't know anything about AXIA vs AHJYA or whatever, just read some of ya'll discussing that there may be OC advantages of one vs the other. My new TBird 1200x133 reads thusly:

A1200AMS3C
AXIA 0114UPAW
95482450677

What's it all mean?

thats a 1200 MHz year 2001 week 14 Axia "9"

should o/c to around 1400MHz, not a bad chip, and axia "y" might have been slightly better, not always true...

You could also be one of the lucky ones and get over 1.5 gig with proper cooling.

Also the last letter on the first line "C" means that your chip is a 266 fsb(133x2 cause its ddr) if it would of been a b it would of been a 200mhz fsb chip(100x2. Also that is a nice chip and overclocking it to 1.4+ should not ne a problem with proper cooling

I would expect 1400MHz at least, maybe 1450-1500 with luck and alot of cooling.

good to id cpu

overclocking stepping info

Just a side note: NEVER listen to other people's "estimates" of how far a CPU will overclock. Nobody will ever be able to predict overclockability, and false hopes will just frustrate you. Hands on testing is the only way to determine what a chip will do, with wildly different variables.

That being said, go to some of the CPU databases, such as at Overclockers.com, and see what other people have been able to do (though some lie or don't get the concept) with chips with the same codes.
