Pioneers always take the arrows.... Very sloppy for Intel though.

Eh, all P8P67 ATX size boards including the vanilla version have it. It seems some of the mATX have 3 6G ports. So I'd move over to the Marvel for precaution.
Well, I'm not 100% sure which mobos have what...but the one on anandtech site in the article about this topic doesn't appear to:
OMG what a bunch of weenies whining about a statistcal fault lol.....thought y'all were hardcore......lol
My MSI P67A-GD65 has 4 SATA III ports. I don't plan on using the SATA II ports so I probably won't go through the RMA process.
i think they dont want to end up like Microsoft did with the red ring of death. I think alot of corporations learned from that mistake.
It's odd that over at anandtech they call this a "statistical error" instead of a design error, even though it's quite obvious that the change of metal layer(design change) does completely solve the problem. If it was a statistical problem that IIRC cannot be completely solved, changing the design would not have made a difference.
So they knew about this for a few weeks (months?) and then about a week ago they confirmed it.Early last week Intel duplicated and confirmed the failure in house.
The SATA bug exists in hardware and theres no way to provide a driver or firmware update that can fix it. The fix requires a metal layer change, which will result in a new hardware stepping (resulting in the ~3 week delay before replacement hardware is ready).
Any word on whether the esata ports are f'd as well? I would assume they are.
Christ so much dramatic crap in this thread.
Believe it or not, it's not the end of the world. Your SB motherboard is not going to kill your dog, rape your mother and then take a shit on your bed...
newegg just pulled all of their P/H 6 series boards
Actually according to Anandtech who got it from Intel, the performance degradation is caused by a high number of errors. It is these errors that cause the controllers to try resending the same data again and again, resulting in the performance degradation.I'm not particularly worried, it seems pretty clear that while performance might degrade on the SATA II's, it won't actually harm/corrupt your HDD or data.
How do we know it completely solves the problem ? Sure, they *think* that is the cause, but until they get back working silicon, *and* test it, nobody is sure.
So they knew about this for a few weeks (months?) and then about a week ago they confirmed it.
The question is, is a ~3 week delay enough time to retest the chip to make sure that the new change don't cause side effects in other parts of the chip.
That means, that this could be drawn out into June/July or longer depending on how well they test it this time, it would NOT be fun if they have a back-2-back recall.
rumors say that the issue was not caught in-house at Intel but at an OEM...
If this is just a Motherboard Issue why did Newegg Deactivate all the Sandy Bridge CPU's?
DEACTIVATED. This item is currently out of stock and it may or may not be restocked.
They arent... and the P67s are still for sale at newegg.
I think some of the people in this thread are delusional.It is possible that the first chips sent out did not suffer the fault, unlikely but possible.
They arent... and the P67s are still for sale at newegg.
Yeah, they already offered me a full refund.
