I have been reading about all of the different codes on the cpu's and I was wondering if there was any way to pick and choose which one you get from online stores. I realize that there is no way to hand pick the cpus but is there a online store that lists the specs of the cpu. I don't really know what week to go with and what lettering I should look for on the first and second lines (if thats what I should be looking for). Please clear this up and maybe a place where I could pick one up. I plan on overclocking with Arctic Silver 2 and FOP 38. Thanks.

Something to start with, use this pic to see what the codes mean, then check all of the big on-line stores for details about what chips they have. A good retailer will tell you in detail what they stock. Some placed charge a premium for AXIA'a and other known O/Cer's. Good Luck.
