Intel finds flaw in 6-series chipsets, halts shipments - The Tech Report

Intel Identifies Sandy Bridge Chipset Design Error, All Shipments Stopped - techPowerUp! Forums

Intel is now recalling ALL SB chips, and full-scale production will not resume until April. There appears to be a problem with SATA Deterioration on the Chipsets.

AnandTech reports Motherboard designs will follow suit as well, so this is not as simple as a simple CPU replacement.

I already got screwed by this, don't follow my fate!
 
So thats why the MoBo and CPU I planned to purchase got pulled a couple hours after I added them to cart. : /
 
Interesting. Well my Intel board is working just fine for now.

Is this an issue that appears over time or what?
