Well, tell that to my chipset's SATA controllers (Sandbridge generation). Intel messed up their life expectancy calculations, and thus they died after 2~3 year

Well, tell that to my chipset's SATA controllers (Sandbridge generation).
Intel messed up their life expectancy calculations, and thus they died after 2~3 years. I think 2 are still alive.
- o-__-o 6y agoLooks like you should have put a fan on that chipset. Like your GPU, which runs at extreme temperatures for extended periods of time!
- namibj 6y agoIt was cooled by the OEM config. And the chipset did get nice airflow.
- pantalaimon 6y agoThe Sandy Bridge SATA issue did make big waves back then and Intel did a recall IIRC. Only the B2 stepping of chipsets should be affected by this tough. https://www.anandtech.com/show/4142/intel-discovers-bug-in-6series-chipset-begins-recall https://www.anandtech.com/show/4142/intel-discovers-bug-in-6... https://techreport.com/news/20326/intel-finds-flaw-in-sandy-bridge-chipsets-halts-shipments/ https://techreport.com/news/20326/intel-finds-flaw-in-sandy-...
- namibj 6y agoI guess I should have gotten a replacement board. I'll probably just upgrade to Zen3 soon, so it'd not be worth the effort (the machine in question is off and in storage).
