et comment on fait pour savoir si notre chipset est défectueux?

C'est pas marquer ASUS, c'est probablement juste pour les MB Intel....

C'est à propos des chipset intel et je crois bien que les cartes mères 1155 en possèdent un...

C'est à propos des chipset intel et je crois bien que les cartes mères 1155 en possèdent un...

J'sais, mais dans le premier lien on voie une carte mère intel...c'est pour sa que j'pensait que c'étais p-e QUE sur les MB Intel

..mais dans le communiqué d'intel (site officiel) c'est intel qui prend charge le support

Intel will work with its OEM partners to accept the return of the affected chipsets, and plans to support modifications or replacements needed on motherboards or systems.

Intéressant !

Le trouble est avec le SATA, et c'est un nombres X sur la masse, donc si tu ne voie pas de déterrioration de tes performance SATA, ça va !

Mais j'aimerais savoir tout de même si le chipset que j'ai va m'apporter des troubles...

je crois que c'est l'avenir qui te le dira ....

En temps normal ~0.5% de fail ( sur des millions ) c'est minime et il les échangent. Si tu touche le 2-3% de fail sur un tel produit ... ça signifie des dizaine de milliers de retours.... !

Chez cogeco avec les décodeurs c'est pareil. Si motorolla nous fournisse un déco qui pête dans 0.5% des cas .. c'est pas grave mais le nombre de call-back agmente vite si les déco sont vraiment mauvais .... Nous sommes débordé au centre d'appel si un nouveau bidule éprouve des difficultées, même si c'est juste 3% des items, c'est ÉNORME !

Ouin moi qui recois plein d'offre pour mon i7, je ne sais plus si je dois... hihi ben oui voyons !

Toi Bou tu change tu ? Juste pour le fun en attendant Ivy et ces 8 coeurs !

Sandy est pas très intéressant à oc, on a pas grands marge de manoeuvre, on fait juste changer le multi et booster la ram et on plafonne à 5-5.1ghz sous l'eau...

Si t'as trop d'argent, change ou fais moi un chèque!

non ben je vend ca 400$ le trio, je remettrai un brun pis jaurais un sandy comme toi. Pis ca me ferait un beau htpc qui chauffe pas comme le 920 présentement quand je vais rechanger pour Ivy.

Ouin belle nouvelle sa a matin nous qui attendions nos board j'ai lu cette news la a matin pis apres appeler les fournisseur pour se faire dire que la production de board avec le chipset 60(67) était toute arreté de renvoyer les board qu'on a déja . puis que sa devrais revenir stock au debut mars (j'espere) puis non ce pas juste les mobo Intel (nous ces toute la serie ASUS) mais bon sa fonctionne tres bien sur les 2 port sata6 et y devrais pas y avoir de probleme et comme dit boulard ce une partie(un pourcentage) mais pour qu'intel paie 1 milliard pour stoper la production et passer au rapelle sa doit pas etre 1/100 mais surement plus ^^

J'attend Ivy. je viens de mettre un FC bloc sur ma mobo et ce n'est pas pour la remplacer sitot.

mon 920 fait le travail sans faute.

Moi, je compte changer dans 5 ans, ha ha.

1G$ de perte a prévoir... Ça fait un bout qu'on a pas vu un aussi gros fail. On en avait pas encore vendu, tant mieux.

Intel announced that there is an issue with their P67/H67 chipsets that can cause the SATA 3.0Gb/s controller to fail over time. NCIX has put in place the following measures to ensure that our customers who have already bought NCIX PC systems or standalone motherboards are appropriately cared for.

Please read the following notices carefully and if you have any other questions or concerns you can email us about this issue at SB AT NCIX.COM. We will do our best to get back to you in a timely manner, but right now there are many inquiries and we don't have answers for all of them yet.

These Notices Are For All Intel LGA1155 "Sandy Bridge" Customers:

1. Please note that this issue does not affect the LGA1155 CPU itself, nor does it affect any other Intel chipset products (such as P55 or X58).

2. The chipset is believed to be MORE LIKELY to fail with heavy use. To reduce the risk of data corruption or data loss, NCIX recommends that you move all drives to either the Intel SATA3 6.0Gb/s ports or any other 3rd party chipset SATA3 6.0Gb/s ports (check your motherboard manual). It is also recommended that if you must use any of the SATA2 3.0Gb/s ports, you should use them with your least important drives or ones that access read-only media (ie DVD burner).

These Notices Are For All NCIX PC Customers With LGA1155 Systems:

1. Customers who have already purchased their system will be credited with 5000 NCIX Rewards points.

2. Systems that are currently in the assembly phase will have to be approved by the customer before they will be completed & shipped.

3. All systems will be assembled using only the available SATA3 6.0Gb/s ports whenever possible.

4. NCIX will perform complimentary motherboard exchanges once replacements are available from the various manufacturers. Once updated boards are available, please schedule an appointment online or with your local NCIX retail store. If your order was shipped, then NCIX will cover the shipping charges both ways to return the system or motherboard to us for replacement.

5. The 12 month NCIX PC warranty will be extended on ALL Sandy Bridge systems to 18 months to compensate our customers for any inconvenience that is caused by being without their system during a motherboard exchange.

These Notices Are For All NCIX Customers With Standalone LGA1155 Motherboard Purchases:

1. Customers who have already purchased their motherboard will be credited with 2500 NCIX Rewards points.

2. We are currently working with all of our partners to find a solution for customers who have purchased Sandy Bridge components. Please check back to this forum thread for the most up-to date information. Again, we suggest that to reduce the risk of data corruption or data loss, please move all drives to either the Intel SATA3 6.0Gb/s ports or any other 3rd party chipset SATA3 6.0Gb/s ports (check your motherboard manual). It is also recommended that if you must use any of the SATA2 3.0Gb/s ports, you should use them with your least important drives or ones that access read-only media (ie DVD burner).

Please check back periodically in this forum thread as we will be updating it once we have more information. Subject to change without notice.

C'est la que t'es content d'avoir acheter dans une place sérieuse avec un excellent service a la clientèle.

Nice post de la part de NCIX/Linus

Chipset Circuit Design Issue Identified

Source: http://www.intel.com/consumer/products/processors/chipset.htm

Intel representatives have announced the discovery of a design issue in the Intel® 6 Series chipset, which supports the 2nd generation Intel® Core™ processors, and we have implemented a silicon fix. In some cases, the Serial-ATA (SATA) ports within the chipsets may degrade over time, potentially impacting the performance or functionality of SATA-linked devices such as hard disk drives and DVD-drives.

Because Intel is committed to providing our customers products of the highest quality, we have proactively identified the affected part, stopped shipment of the product, and have begun to manufacture a new version of the support chip, which will resolve this issue.

How to determine whether your system is affected:

Was your system purchased after January 9, 2011?

Yes You may be affected, continue reading.

No You have not been affected and do not need to do anything else.

If your system has any of these badges, your pr...

je l'ai acheté le 9 justement et ma commande à été shippée le 11... J'espère que mon gentil chipset est correct...

À propos, un de mes amis veut changer de pc maintenant mais je ne sais pas trop quoi lui conseiller: changer pour un 760-860-950 ou attendre que les cm 1155 soient de retour sur le marcher et y aller avec un 25(6)00(k)? Il part d'un X2 avec une 8800gt si je me rappelle bien. C'est moi qui lui avait monté son pc dans le temps.

Attendre un peut ça vaut plus le coup... Surtout que le i5 2500k est 240$ c'est vraiment pas cher pour ce qu'il offre.

Ça devrait pas prendre une éternité pour qu'ils règlent le problème msemble..

Qqun sait quand ils devraient être dispo sur le marché?

Non c'est ce que je demandais hier. Quelqu'un veux m'acheter mon pc aujourd'hui mais crime si je peux pas avoir de board bientôt...

fallait y penser avant le 9 janvier! :fouet:

belle affaire. C'est désagréable ... moi qui doit monter un PC pour un de mes chums aussi .... ça me fou sérieusement des bâtons dans les roues.

Just use SATA 3 and you'll be fine

It looks like we will talk about Intel's Sandy Bridge motherboard recall for quite a while. Gigabyte just sent out a press release where it said that it has software that can test whether your board is good or bad, of course it tests only P67 and H67 motherboards.

Gigabyte is trying to sell the story that only users with more than two SATA devices might be affected, as SATA 3 ports are not affected. We like the choice of words where Gigabyte tells its customers that "not so important devices like DVD rom (Nicht so wichtige Geräte (z.B. DVD-ROM) / translated from German press release ed.)" should get attached to SATA 2 affected port. We don't want to prejudge here but installing from a DVD on a bad SATA 2 port can also result in a very long and bad day.

So, Gigabyte was so nice to come up with a software simply called GIGABYTE 6 Series SATA Check, available here.

The software can tell you if you have drives attached to affected SATA 2 ports but it cannot tell you if you have an affected motherboard. Gigabyte clearly tells you that there is no way to guarantee if you are one of the five percent of all affected boards but even then try to avoid use of SATA 2. Remember it might take up to three years for this port to fail and for most it will never happen.

The small program will simply tell you to avoid SATA 2 ports and try to plug all to SATA 3. SATA 3 is backward compatible with SATA 2 devices and they will work just fine. If you don't use affected SATA 2 ports software will simply tell you "SATA configuration (is) OK". If you have devices attached on SATA 2 ports the software will tell you "(Please) move 1 or 2 devices from (the) Intel PCH SATA 2.0 ports to the free SATA 3.0 ports".

In the third scenario, if you use both SATA 2 and SATA 3 ports, the program advises that ("Use of (the) Intel PCH SATA 2.0 ports is not recommended"). We are quite sure that other manufacturer are also working on a similar solution to tell you what ports are you using. The alternative is simple, just open your case, and see it for yourself as SATA 2 and SATA 3 are usually painted in different colours, just consult your manual.

** Le fichier vous diras si vous avez quelque chose de branché sur les port affecté mais ne dit pas si ils sont affecté par le rappel **
