Why did newegg pull all p67 mobos and sandybridge's?

[Deleted member 362816]

Just wondering why all of these are pulled i just bought some of the p67 mobos and 2500ks i have them here just want to make sure there isnt a issue

oh because the chip sets are junk lol nice

The chipset only fails if you use the SATA II ports. Just don't use them if you don't have to.

I was about to buy about the same build as you (same MB, 2600k though).

I payed for the damn sata 2 ports i dont care if i dont use them i want them to work

Because they're offering refunds/replacements to everyone who purchased one now

 

[Deleted member 362816]

replacements when in a few months? they haven't fixed the issue yet.

Wow another whiner. This is probably the 20th post today about this. Newegg is giving full refunds and the new replacement boards should be out by middle of march.

 

[bearclaw99]

Ya, either refund now, or replacement in 1-2 months when the fix comes

no problem man i think Intel rushed p67 chip set way to much trying to beat the market. it kicked them in the arse

Use, it til the replacements arrive then exchange it. No big deal.

 

[Deleted member 362816]

I emailed AsusTek i want to know if they will replace it or i have to go through newegg,

 

[daship]

I would imagine either way will work, Newegg would probably be the fastest. I wish newegg still was selling them, because I got my money today and I would still buy it. Theres no way I will buy something else. I guess I will have to wait.

IMO wait til replacements are out, then swap, or refund the mobo and cpu and get something else.

Well i have a 5 year warranty unless it is made a mandatory recall i wont send mine back.

 

[daship]

I would send it back eventually. I personally think its worse then they claim since all the retailers are pulling product. But eventually you might want to add some drives, then you will want all those ports working.

I usually run 1 hard drive with windows 7, and one with Snow Leopard, and at-least 2 for storage. So I will definitely want all my ports working. I think I will buy everything else I had in my cart and just use an extra socket 775 I got laying around til I can get my hands on a sandy bridge. I'm ready to get my eyefinity going now, so I got to do something.

Yeah but i have a storage server at my house so i have no reason for more then 1 hdd usally. just 1 ssd in computer

I am in same boat I have a very nice return coming on friday and had an I5-2500K in my sights. MicroCenter had an awesome deal for the P67 board and the I5 2500K after rebates it would have been around $300 for both hopefully they have that deal again when it comes back around.
