    Intel Chipset Design Error!!!

    NO, it does not, because intel is being UNUSUALLY up front and forthright in even admitting this issue before any users can be affected. Some people like you, LIKE being paranoid conspiracy theorists. Most reasonable people DO NOT. FYI, I've had a chance to deal with a lot of sandy...

    Intel Chipset Design Error!!!

    You can return it now and get your $ back, then sit on it and wait for Z68/get a better 1155 CPU. DO-OVER!

    Intel Chipset Design Error!!!

    OH snap, I got backed up. Yeah, observationally, the major vendors are accepting full system (parts) orders for refund. Having a 1155 CPU is worthless without a compatible mobo being the logic behind it. Can confirm Newegg and MC anecdotally.

    Intel Chipset Design Error!!!

    The "P67 not H67" info was early, unconfirmed info, According to Intel's own Press Release, H67, P67, and N67 laptops are all affected. (Laptops being ignorable, because they generally only use the 2 SATAIII 6Gbps ports). As for returns, the new Silicon will NOT be available (to OEM's) until...

    If it's a current gen 1155 socket, it's affected.

    Intel Chipset Design Error!!!

    You've totally missed the boat if you have not comprehended the point that ALL silicon is suspect/bad. "100% Good" Silicon does not EXIST. Suspect/Bad silicon will degrade over time and fail over enough time at high I/O loads. (5% failure rate at 1 year and 15% over 3 years at average load) on...

    Intel Chipset Design Error!!!

    Yes, a PCI SATA II would work around the issue just fine. Yes, a SATA II cable will fit and work in a SATA III port at SATA II speeds. Yes the situation sucks. I wish it didn't, but wishes don't count for much. Hope everyone is dealing with their own systems / parts appropriately. Newegg pulled...

    Intel Chipset Design Error!!!

    There are *4* SATA II ports that are affected. There are *2* SATA III ports that are unaffected. Re: "More than that..." - Performance still degrades over time, so you will see when/if/how you are affected and you can DO SOMETHING about it (switch ports, get a 3rd party controller card). I...

    Intel Chipset Design Error!!!

    The right triggers are 24/7 high I/O traffic in a higher than average temperature higher than average voltage environment (how Intel artificially reproduced the issue). That worked out, roughly, to equate to 5% hardware failure rate over a simulated 1 year wear down, and a 15% failure rate in a...

    Intel Chipset Design Error!!!

    Basically, the simplified explanation is that there are 2 disk drive controllers on the P67/H67 motherboards, controlling a total of 6 "SATA" disk drive ports (usable for Hard Drives, Solid State Drives, and CD/DVD Drives). 2 of the ports are higher speed SATA-III (6 Gigabit/second) and are...
