Defective Sandy Bridge Chipset - Update 1
- Thread starter PCS
- Start date
P8P67 is the "basic" one and the new revisions are out today: http://www.bit-tech.net/news/hardware/2011/03/09/intel-b3-motherboards-go-on-sale/1
When you select a Sandy Bridge motherboard during configuration, or if you check any orders you have on your admin pages, you'll see they now say "NEW REV 3.0" which means the it's the new, fixed chipsets. :turned:

Oh wow, the new fixed boards are here already? 
I did read about them being shipped early this month but I was expecting a late March - early April before I could order, hey ho I'm a happy man
I've managed to save some more money towards a new system whilst waiting and it came around a lot quicker then I expected Just one question though. Is the added option to SLI the only difference between the P67 and P67 pro board? (as I don't plan on having more then one graphics card)

Pretty much the only benefit of the P8P67 Pro board over the P8P67 is SLI.
Quality! Can't wait, so excited
I think about my computer order nearly every day, how sad am i?
went quicker than expected though

Just to double check something that must be so obvious I'm an idiot!
When I ordered my PC I agreed to having a defective Sandybridge mobo but with all the uneffected ports used to prevent degradation.
However in my build list I noticed my mobo is listed as: ASUS® P8P67 PRO (NEW REV 3.0): QUAD USB 3.0/SATA 6Gb/s
I take it then that my mobo currently sitting in my machine is the new stock?

That's correct - you will have the new revision 3 motherboard that's not affected the the Sandy Bridge chipset issue.

...any update on this? I am getting so tempted to change my order...
The P8P68 and P8P67 PRO and Sabretooth rev 3 chipsets are in stock now. The H67 are a little delayed still, we're hoping to see small quantities of stock in the next week.
Nah, this is all desktop components - nothing to do with Laptops. We did have a rush of orders though when we launched the new Laptops, lost of people eager to get their hands on them like yourself. We're working through all orders as quickly as we can without jeopardising quality.

Might be a numpty question, but sort of topical.
What exactly is the difference between the P67 and H67?
I've Googled etc but yet to find an "answer"...just lots of babble that I dont actually understand!
