hi guys bit of an update on the sandybridge situation

it seems some of info was just panic talk, i called ebuyer.com again today about returning my sandybridge board and they informed me that the correct situation is that 20 to 30% of the boards have the flawed chipset NOT ALL OF THEM

apparently its which factory the chipset was made, there is more than one factory making them, but only one of the factories used the flawed chipset

it is best to contact the board manufacturer with the serial no. of your board and they can tell you if yours is part of the flawed batch

i dont know about other board makers, but as i was enquiring mine which is an asus i have the website for asus for sandybridge enquiries below

vip.asus.com/eservice/techserv.aspx
 
ebuyer is blowing hot air. They are just trying to keep people from returning the boards. Its a design flaw in the chipset itself. To much leakage and causing downgraded performance and can fail with alot of use on the SATA 3.0 ports. Doesnt matter where it was made.

If that was the case, they would not be redesigning the chipset and not having the new chip in production till late Feb. or March.
 
To my understanding, it is a bugs affect all intel 6 series chipset. ebuyer get it wrong...

Gigabyte anounnced they will replace mobo, haven't heard from asus yet.

Depends on how much you want to confuse people

SATA Revision 2 or SATA 3 Gbit/s or SATA 3.0

SATA revision 3 or SATA 6 Gbit/s or SATA 6.0

OK I get it and I meant as you clearly and correctly stated above? I thought the SATA 3.0 were fine. Am I wrong?;)

Edit: Disregard my response above. Oh I get it now. You want to confuse? Since SATA defines their terms using them would be benificial. You are not. SATA 3.0 is the 6Gb standard. I like your use of bit vs b.

:D

Come on man you are loose with your terminology big time.;)

Going to France and teaching them French if you are not French is? Well it is what it is.:)

SATA 2.0 and SATA 3.0 mean things for you to deny? Whatever.

You know whats going on.

Nobody refers to it as SATA 2.0 and 3.0 as in the Revision

Its always referred to as SATA 3.0 and 6.0 with or without the Gbit/s. Even by harddrive and motherboard manufactures.
