Intel Sandybridge Chipset Defect
I just built two computers with H67 chipset motherboards for use with a second-generation i5-2500 and i7-2600 processor. I couldn't have been happier and published tests have shown the fantastic speed I am seeing in PS5 and C1, compared with older processors, even some costing three times as much. Now we find out that all these motherboards will need to be recalled, an no new ones or replacements will be available for at least a couple months. Just wanted to share this and my frustration here...
Details here
and here
This is expected to cost Intel $1 billion.
