Great! So I'm assuming this will probably affect my brand new P8P67 Pro, right? e: After further research, it seems that it'll affect this board. And the last thing I wanted to do was endure the noise my processor made when clamping it into the mobo again. That poo poo is awful.

drat. I was hoping I wouldn't have to touch my CPU cooler for the next three years or so. With my luck I'll manage to drive a screwdriver through my replacement board or something. I hate installing coolers.

It used to be worse though, I have some bad memories of installing old cpus and almost destroying them.

No kidding. I have memories of my father giving me a new motherboard+cpu for christmas as a kid, then him having a screwdriver slip while installing the cooler and cutting a bunch of data lines on the board. Thankfully it's never happened to me.

Oh god drat it I did not want to take this computer apart for at least three years. I hope companies are smart enough to send you the replacement board first because I'm not waiting for shipping to have a running computer.

movax posted:Traditional design verification tools wouldn't have caught this (and they aren't expected too either), because it doesn't seem to be a logic error, more of a manufacturing/layout issue. One of the Intel goons might be able to comment further (they probably can't) but I assume they either modified the layout (perhaps the placement of certain logic was tricky for manufacturing) or manufacturing process to solve the issue.

Any chance Intel will allow swapping/upgrading boards to the ones that can do quicksync while still using a dedicated GPU for gaming or other things?

That's interesting, I was running into a problem where the system disk would suddenly disappear and then Windows would bluescreen. I replaced the SATA cable and the problem resolved. I'm pretty sure the disk was plugged into a 6Gbps port at the time so it could have just been coincidental. I don't want to take this drat thing apart.

If you want to see if you're affected by the bug, try running Crystal Disk Info. I suspect that this would manifest as logged Ultra DMA CRC Errors, so if you're using the SATA300 ports and have those logged, you could be experiencing the issue. Other possible causes for UDMA CRC Errors include bad SATA cables and anything that can cause data corruption, like RAM issues.

I'm kind of glad I bought that i5 760 for half price in novemeber, a lot of people thought I was stupid for buying it a 2 and a half months before sandy bridges came out. I still feel bad for intel, estimated 300 million lost in revenue is quite a hit.

The $300 million will be made back, at least. And I don't feel bad for Intel in the least.

I  when it comes to cable management/the innards of my PC case, so it's more of a 15 minute job for motherboard replacement/cooler re-install than a 5 minute job.Really though, like an above poster said, I would like an advance RMA where I get the new board first and then I use a pre-paid shipping label to send it back. Then I just re-configure BIOS real quick, update my router to new MAC address and am hopefully up and running again. Fun thought: think of all the wasted MAC addresses!

4 Day Weekend posted:From the Anandtech article: The IGP hardware accelerated decoding (IIRC) will put out 24.000, not 23.976. It's such a loving complaint, the CPU alone is more than powerful enough to decode 1080p H.264 with more flexibility than any hardware accelerated solution. No need to worry about resolution or encoding options, it just plays back. It's a good thought, but gently caress hardware accelerated decoding. 4 years ago a C2D E6400 could power through 1080p H.264 with retard number of ref-frames without any GPU help.

While there Intel goons that work on related projects, or on different areas of the Cougar Point team; no one who was involved in directly in debugging this failure or in the design of the SATA analog circuitry has an SA forums account.

Who knows how far in advance OEMs like Lenovo and Dell got their stock to begin building boards with. BIOS development for SNB was as early as this past September, so there's a lot of these suckers in the wild (though obviously in this case, chips out this early weren't for general availability)

Gah, reassuring myself that buying an all new system on the 26th "is totally worth it because I'll get one eventually, why not now" is backfiring. So let me get this straight, to solve this issue all I would have to do is return my motherboard for a new one once they start doing exchanges?

I hope the recall extends for quite a while, as I won't be able to actually do it until next fall/winter. What the hell, Intel?

There's no point in calling retailers about your boards when the manufacturers just learned about the issue today. Give them a couple days to get things figured out, it's not like fixed versions are even available yet.

Probably a dumb question but I ordered the ASUS P8P67 and it comes with two 6.0 SATA ports and two Marvell 6.0 SATA ports. Since I'm only going to be using 3 hard drives I can just use the 6.0 ports and be fine correct? Also what's the deal with Marvell ports and are they better than the regular ones?
