Thread: Socket 1155 Motherboard issue

Hi guys, What is the issue exactly with sandy bridge 1155 skt boards and does it affect all boards or just a some? Planning to build a gaming system for my son. Thanks in advance.

It affects all sandybridge supporting chip sets (i.e. all 1155 skt boards), and its associated to degradation of the sata 3gb/s sockets over time. In hypothesis if you had a pc that only was going to use the 6 gb/s lines it may not be a problem for you at all - as I gotd what I have read. I was about to club a latset pc, but I don't see the purpose ordering now until latest stock arrives in thats fixed - evidently I could order and build the pc - but I would then have to strip it down to send the board back in once they had stock of corrected chip set boards.

Wait for a fixed board. So that you get heavy discount for B-grade stock.
