Da*n. so i got a good chance getting ayhja 1.4g or better? But there isnt any 1.4g that have worse than axia stepping??

I really hope i dont get the same junk stepping as i got on my 1.1g (avha) which wouldnt do more than 1.33g even when cooled down to under 40c loaded.

no, there are many revisions that are worse than axia but it's not likely you'll get those, they are old and I think they only make the latest revisions, I think you have a 70% chance of getting one of the 2. If they don't say what step or rev it is, it's likely it isn't the best but you never know, they might jsut be too lazy to look, lol.

Yup i asked them before i ordered if there was any chance they could check what stepping it was so i was sure i got a good stepping but they said they couldnt do that.

But if i get a bad stepping, i still got good chances of getting it to 1.5+ with good air cooling?? If i can manage to hit 1.5 or higher i will be happy.
