It's their equivalent of FX apparently.
But if it's just a premium chipset then it's likely based on the flawed P/H chipsets...

I'm doing a backup of my internal drives right now.
As someone else asked earlier on in this thread: Would this sata problem be the reason for very occasional freezing? All hard drive activity stops, Screen appears to freeze, mouse gets stuck, then all starts working again after 15 -20 seconds? I hadn't started investigating it (it is only a rare occurrence) but this chipset announcement got me wondering.

Is your OS drive on one of the 3Gb/s ports then?

Bitter much?
I dont see how its an anti overclocking platform. If anything its the opposite, its far easier to overclock now and most chips overclock a lot further.
I'd hardly call it a failure either, its currently whooping amd even more in performance, regardless of this issue.
It's in sata 4. 2ndhard drive in sata 5 or 6 (can't remember). But, yes, I could imagine dicky ports may have a knock on effect. I'll swap them tomorrow anyhow. On the other hand, the freezing could be unrelated to the ports. Dunno. Time will tell.
Yeh just try it in one of the 6Gb/s ports for a while. I haven't experienced any issues like what you've mentioned and I'm just using the first two ports.

Hey guys can i get some advise please?
So i have a 2500k and a MSI P67A GD65 thing is i have not built this system yet but im going to this Friday when the rest of the components arrrive (PSU GPU)
Thing is this is my first build so i just want to check, i have only one HDD a Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache and one DVD optical Drive.
Am i right in saying i should connect both of them to the SATA 6Gb/s ports ?? and if so does it matter which one i put them into ?
In my board manual it says sata ports 1 and 2 are 6gbs and ports 7 and 8 are also 6gbs.
So should i put them in ports 1 and 2 ? or spread them out ?
Sorry for the newb question just don't want to make any mistakes

Yeh just put your optical drive and HDD in ports 0 and 1 (those should be the 6Gb/s) and keep a look out for any news about motherboard replacements.
...i have now heard enough inane drivvle.
WTF is the point in posting an intel powerpoint slide on architecture?! and worrying about "everything" being affected?!
These guys have billions of dollars available to find out what caused the problem, they do so, announce it - and some bright spark questions it with a marketing slide questioning everything they just stated. brilliant.
Again - if this was down to me i'd CLOSE this thread because its full of the most utterly useless posts i've seen in a long time.
forget it for now. let intel and OCuk decide what to do about it then listen to the response - which will be both informed and correct, unlike ridiculous speculation. job done. Everyone else = less annoyed by such utter ****.

Well to look at the facts we have so far
1. The Cougar Point chipset that's fitted to every 1155 board is faulty by design
2. As a consumer you have the right to a refund inc the cost of returning to the retailer as the product is not fit for purpose

...maybe its just my irratable side kicking in with age but this reminds me of those numb-nuts that think they know better than the multi-million£ R&D departments of car manufacturers - if I stick a shed load of plastic on here and drill a dirty great hole in my exhaust its better right? We'll of course it is, that is exactly why that multi-million£ R&D team are worth less than you - they clearly have much less expertise and much less experiance despite the fact you are just you, singular, sat in you're room, speculating.
/rant over.
On a serious note though, this is all overblown at the mo, nothing is imminently about to die so just chill for a mo and let the people in the know let us guys know what to do

Thanks man. 0 and 1 it will be then.
Wow i get this exact same issue if you look in your event log under errors you will probably have a warning about IAstor, the intel matrix storage drivers. I have wasted about 12h trying to fix this issue and now it looks like it may just possibly be the SATA at fault and not my hard drives after all.
on my machine it happened about 4 times a day. It has to do with LPM power management and apparently one of my devices wasn't compatible (which i know to be utter BS) 2x samsung F3s 1 Crucial c300 and a Samsung DVDR with latest 2010 firmware...
