AXIA 1.33Ghz CPU's

[<Hawk_01>]

Recieved two AMD AXIA 1.33Ghz OEM CPU's. Both were DOA. Sent both back. Anyone else run into bad CPU's right from the static bag?

Sorry Hawk, must just have really bad luck. Are you sure the rest of teh system is ok ie. mobo, psu, ram, hd. I'm sure checked that, but just trying to cover all avenue. If you get another one, hope it works out

[<Hawk_01>]

Yep, system is fine. ASUS A7M266, 512MB Crucial PC2100 RAM. Tested with a Duron 800 to verify that the system was working correctly. Running like a champ. Vendor said alot of these chips have been returned bad. Maybe there was a bad batch?

Do you know what the week code was on them?

Not sure about the second one, but the first one is:

A133AMS3C
AXIA0110MPMW
K0057781846

Off topic but did you happen to notice if the L1 bridges were connected on either of the two? Rumor has it some of the higher speed TBirds are being sent out already unlocked.

My new 1.33 is unlocked & works fine!

My 1.33 lasted 10 minutes<Not OC still factory settings> on a KT7A-Raid board. That was 2 weeks ago and I’m still waiting for the replacement.

The place I bought it from burnt up one as well. I'm not convinced that this chip is as good as some claim.

I am beginning to think that the AMD is sending out pre-tested chips to these review sites so that they are guaranteed to get a good OC rating.

I just got mine a few days ago. AXIA0112. Runs like a champ at 1.80v @ 1507. 11x137. On my a7v133 though it doesn't want to take above an 11 multiple. It will go down to a 6x multiplyer though. Oh, and at stock 1333, it runs at 1.55v!!

Just recieved a AMD1.33 AXIA0109MPMW running 1612--1.85v . 1.33 are great.
