Given that I'm running it on the bench for a few weeks anyway, and it's the Intel 3gb/s ports only that are affected, it doesn't much bother me. I'd rather they own up to it sooner than wait for failures to actually be encountered. Supposedly, no end-user has complained about a failure of this nature yet--it was one of Intel's customers (ie: Dell, HP, Asus, Gigabyte, etc).
Real question will be how Asus will handle it. If I'm without a board for upwards of a month, it will leave me a bit sour--but against Asus, not Intel. > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:hardware- > [email protected]] On Behalf Of Bryan Seitz > Sent: Monday, January 31, 2011 3:56 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [H] Intel hit with chipset design flaw in Sandy Bridge rollout > > I lol @ the early adopters :) > > On Mon, Jan 31, 2011 at 11:31:22AM -0600, Greg Sevart wrote: > > >From what I can tell, yes, all series 6 chipsets are affected. > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > > From: [email protected] [mailto:hardware- > > > [email protected]] On Behalf Of Gary > > > Sent: Monday, January 31, 2011 11:28 AM > > > To: [email protected] > > > Subject: Re: [H] Intel hit with chipset design flaw in Sandy Bridge > > rollout > > > > > > > The processor is fine--the issue is in the chipset.
