Intel Recall on 6-series, Cougar Point SATA, Sandy Bridge Chipset Recalled

[Sxotty]

What I meant was: Is there carry over that would have effected the lga2011 if they had not realized this? And if so will it delay the lga2011 release? I suppose it could delay the release anyway though as I imagine they might be a bit overly careful after this disaster. (Want to spend longer testing and so forth)

That's hard to say. Would more stringent testing from an enterprise class chipset have revealed the flaw? Will the enterprise class chipset re-use (without changes) the same implementation? The possibility is always there, but there's no way to say with any amount of certainty that it would happen.

Just an update:

I got my Asus Sabertooth P67 Rev. 3.0 motherboard replacement ("Advanced RMA" so I get the new one then send back the old one) from Newegg today.

Sigh. Motherboard swaps are a bitch.

At least it arrived before you went flying off to China... That would surely have been an even bigger bother, right?

Now I have to decide whether to do the swap before or after though..."oh bother"

Bah, I'm on the "waiting list" at Newegg. They are swapping out MB's as they arrive and in order of when the MB was ordered.
