[pollaxe]

I just ordered one of these to tide me over.

Bah.

So Gen 1 is the best one to get lol. should be the other way round

i was an early adopter for nehalem and they still run flawlessly till this day

As fun as it is to juggle a live hand grenade and shovel cash into a furnace, I happily waited to see if it would run flawlessly, first, in fact.

Meh, aidanjt is troll, do not feed.

Nope, just being mean in pointing out the risk of not waiting to see whether or not new tech is reasonably bug free.

wow that's one major balls up on Intel's earnings, but at least they have found the bug early on and are already getting it all fixed and working on getting replacements for current buyers.

I guess that's a lesson well learnt not to buy as soon as something like this comes on the market for those that ordered it so early!

As I said "meh".

How wonderful for you dear!

i'm affected by this
got 6x2tb drives in a RAID5 array on the board and ports 2 or 3 keep dying meaning a 4 day rebuild, so glad its a recognised problem

taking it back to scan tomoz, swapping it for a 760 and a 1156 board
