ive just remembered the P67 chipset had issues with it and was recalled by Intel... has this all been sorted out now? im worried about buying defective boards for my dads build

thanks
 
The SATA3.0 ports had a 2% chance of corrupting the data of any drive attached to them, basically.
 
thanks , are ASrock boards any good? is Gigabyte better? just ASrock have the new UEFI bios and Gigabyte dont...I would normally choose Gigabyte... they have USB3 and SATA3 also
 
The Gigabyte P67 boards are decent enough, its there Z68 range that I actually dont like.

The ASrock Z68 is brilliant, not paid any attention to there P67 range.
 
im thinking more for adopting UEFI.. we have decided to use an ATX case for the floor on my dads build you have been helping us with so therefore boards are slightly cheaper and bigger with more ports etc for add-ons later (unlikely though) - I wonder if its better adopting UEFI now during a new build? I mean if Gigbyte p67 was better than ASrock p67 then i may not ...just want reliability
 
is MSI any good though? ive always considered them to be the "cheap" brand - i dont want mobos that will pop 6 months on hence i always go for Gigabyte as they are normally referred to as 'reliable'

thanks
 
my dads proper penny pinching now like... on about using his old acer case and using old dvd drive when he thinks its broken... turning into a proper tight old man that wont budge... ive told him he CANT build a PC 2500k to overclock for £500 or less if he wants a decent GPU, mobo and PSU in it aswell ... the case he wants is only on sale elsewhere and is £30 so he has £470 to do it with

tighter than a gnatt's chuff.... hehehe

for 2 nights running ive been scouring the web for cases until 3am...sigh~!
 
his DVD drive sorry (£12 wow! hehe)...its SATA and was new about a year or 2 back... he says it stutters on all dvd playback now and never used to - i asked him to copy a 700mb video file to the HDD and it took 3.5 minutes or something he said but i cantbe 100% sure the file he moved was 700mb as he doesnt know what hes doing lol a 700Mb file should not take that long to copy from DVD drive to HDD I would imagine.. so I wondered if it was skipping across discs...he said it did copy the entire file which played fine once on PC... but were talking about £12 for a new one man?

im now looking at a 460 Super Over-Clocked just to save £15 - it looks like it may actually be better than the 560
 
Ive not had a problem with my ASUS P8P67 that I got about 6 months back in the beginning of January, is it still possible to get the B3 replacement? if so how?

Edit - just seen the thread stating that they will be giving replacements until 30th of June, I get home from the rig on the 30th of June :( Does this mean I cant get the B3 revision?
Edit2- I think I will fill in the return form the night of 29th and hope they accept it x) - really want that Z68 board now though, are people buying these B3 revision boards?

Appologies for semi-off topic. But to re-itterate, I havent had problems with the board... yet :)

your best getting the replacement if you can for peace of mind... as said it has 2% chance of corrupting data if your using a SATA3 (6Gbps) hard-drive on a SATA3 port... 2% is a big number IMO for corrupting your data...change it
