Received my blade.
Unlike the ones I'd bought directly from friedcat a few months ago, for some reason this one came undervolted at 1.07 V and won't run at 13 GH/s out of the box. Had to bump it up to 1.2 V.
all the ones i got were undervolted too.... he's probably trying to idiot-proof it as much as possible since they're now shipping 10x-100x more than they were @ 40-50btc.
another thing is they used to come with a little fan but now no fans. he says its safe to run low clock w/o fan but cannot overclock without a lot of cooling. someone without a clue hooks it up w/o fans on overclock will burn it up
