I was going thru my closet and found the old 1.2Ghz I won from AMD some time ago. Anyway, I when I tried it it didn't work but I thought I'd give it a shot (it is an AXIA batch...damn fine overclocker). Anyway, everything spins up and starts loading- u can hear it- but there is no video. Additionally, when I press the power button it doesn't turn off. Here's the odd part- twice at random times when I pressed the power button, it felt like it had gotten to a certain point and did turn off, so it responded there! The motherboard I am using is an FIC AD11 and works just fine w/ my other 1.2Ghz CPU. I'm wondering if the AXIA is DOA or perhaps there is hope for it yet. I cleaned it realy well (cause my 700Mhz CPU initially wouldn't work b/c it was dirty) but that didn't help. Now I'm wondering if it could be the motherboard. My 700Mhz does the same stuff when I up the fsb too far... Also maybe this has something to do w/ multiplier and vcore? Any thoughts?
Some early versions of the ad11 won't work with paliminos or thoroughbred cpus. You might be able to flash the bios. Check for your board version number, and go to fic's website.
This is still a Thunderbird CPU. Funny thing is the AD11, in manual mode, has a min multiplier of 10x -> 1333Mhz CPU! I'm gonna spend the day fiddling with it, see what happens.
