Intel Sandy Bridge Recall

2011-02-03T08:08:00.000-08:00

Intel had announced a recall on their new Intel CPU.
the CPU has this glich that over use the SATA II port.
This recall is to fix the glich and to manufacture new motherboard.
Also, the damage will take 2 thru 3 years for the SATA II port to completely be damage and non usable to the consumer device( hard drive, dvd drives, and maybe any other devices that use SATA). But, SATA III can still be used as normal because the intel CPU use a different type of Chipset.

How to fix it:

to fix this problem, you need to wait untill intel fix this problem with the new CPUs. to save your SATA II port i recomend to change all SATA devices to the SATA III port. untill this issue is over. Also, contact intel and your motherboard manufacture to see if you can get a refund or a replacement.
