Intel sandybridge issue (1 Viewer)

[eetaylog]

So ive heard that there is a problem with silicon degradation in the new generation of i-processors with their chipset on certain boards which causes the sata drives to mess up. Does anyone know if this affects the i3's or is it just the i5 and i7 processors that are affected?

If you look at motherboards with B3 revision specs, This is the change you have heard about regarding Sandybridge motherboards and sata problems being fixed.

All mobo's in other thread are the fixed B3 revisions

Thanks, yeah id since read about the B3 revision, and i see from your other post in another thread that the Asus Pro mobo is the way to go? The MSI board is around a tenner cheaper, is there any reason to choose Asus over MSI for the 1155 boards?

I have no preference either way, my only criticism of Asus was there noisy fans on both motherboards and graphics cards (still is on later), but as mobo's just have heatsinks nowadays thats no longer relevant.

You make a good point, though i have a scythe mini passive ninja heatsink for my CPU, but im not really sure that the universal adapters to bolt it to the board will work with the new 1155 socket?
