March 1, 201115 yr How has everyone coped with the Sandy Bridge defect? Done the workaround? Or replaced their MOBO? Or waiting for new chipset MOBO? I haven't done anything but will eventually.
March 1, 201115 yr Been using the Intel SATA 2 ports since day 1. No problem so far. It's probably way too soon to start coming across faulty ports
March 1, 201115 yr Author Yeah but I've noticed some weird things going on with my computer and it sounds like the hard drives get locked up. I don't know if it's a stupid virus (already!!) or the problem kicking in. Like it will be as simple as opening up a folder or firefox. The computer just sits there and thinks a long time and then starts moving, but I can hear something clicking down there like with the hard drives. I don't know. Building a computer has been such a headache. FSX just crashed on me a few minutes ago! Ahhhhh....... I think the problem is affecting mine already. I'm going to talk to the guy who built my computer and find out some more information.
March 1, 201115 yr Have you tried switching the affected hard drive to one of the Sata III ports?

March 2, 201115 yr Author Have you tried switching the affected hard drive to one of the Sata III ports?I thought the hard drive had to be specifically able to do that. You can't plug a SATA 3 hard drive into a SATA 6 right?
March 2, 201115 yr I thought the hard drive had to be specifically able to do that. You can't plug a SATA 3 hard drive into a SATA 6 right?SATA 3 is backwards compatible, so you can hook up your SATA 2 drive there. Not a problem

March 2, 201115 yr Yes you can. (will work at SATA3 speed)well, it will run at the same speed David. A SATA 2 drive needs the SATA 2 interface to work. The port will simply switch to SATA 2
March 2, 201115 yr well, it will work on the SATA 2 interface, but at the same speed David (I take it you meant to say SATA 2)Lol! Yes Dario, it's five AM here and I think I seriously need a second coffee !! - PC Hardware: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D // Asus ROG Crosshair X870E HERO // 2x32Gb Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5 6000MT/s CL30 // ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4090 OC Edition // 4Tb Corsair NVMe M.2 MP600 // Corsair 1600W PSU Samsung Odyssey Arc 55" curved 165 Hz monitor. - Simulator Hardware: VIRPIL Constellation Alpha Prime + VIRPIL VPC Universal Control Panel - #3 + MOZA AY210 Force Feedback Yoke + WINWING URSA MINOR 32 Throttle & PAC Metal + WINWING SKYWALKER Metal Rudder Pedals + WINWING Airbus FCU & EFIS + WINWING Boeing 3N PAP + WINWING MCDU-32 + WINWING PFP-4 + WINWING PFP 3-N + WINWING PFP-7.
March 2, 201115 yr haha, also 5 am here, but actually my remark about yor reference to SATA 3 was wrong since SATA 3 is the port we're talking about. I was editing that part but you were faster
March 2, 201115 yr So let's drink a virtual double coffee together! - PC Hardware: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D // Asus ROG Crosshair X870E HERO // 2x32Gb Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5 6000MT/s CL30 // ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4090 OC Edition // 4Tb Corsair NVMe M.2 MP600 // Corsair 1600W PSU Samsung Odyssey Arc 55" curved 165 Hz monitor. - Simulator Hardware: VIRPIL Constellation Alpha Prime + VIRPIL VPC Universal Control Panel - #3 + MOZA AY210 Force Feedback Yoke + WINWING URSA MINOR 32 Throttle & PAC Metal + WINWING SKYWALKER Metal Rudder Pedals + WINWING Airbus FCU & EFIS + WINWING Boeing 3N PAP + WINWING MCDU-32 + WINWING PFP-4 + WINWING PFP 3-N + WINWING PFP-7.
March 2, 201115 yr :--))) Muchas gracias hermano y salud contigo! <_< (I have the bad feeling we've hijacked this thread but huh! It's always nice to share a good coffee with a fellow at 5AM!) - PC Hardware: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D // Asus ROG Crosshair X870E HERO // 2x32Gb Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5 6000MT/s CL30 // ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4090 OC Edition // 4Tb Corsair NVMe M.2 MP600 // Corsair 1600W PSU Samsung Odyssey Arc 55" curved 165 Hz monitor. - Simulator Hardware: VIRPIL Constellation Alpha Prime + VIRPIL VPC Universal Control Panel - #3 + MOZA AY210 Force Feedback Yoke + WINWING URSA MINOR 32 Throttle & PAC Metal + WINWING SKYWALKER Metal Rudder Pedals + WINWING Airbus FCU & EFIS + WINWING Boeing 3N PAP + WINWING MCDU-32 + WINWING PFP-4 + WINWING PFP 3-N + WINWING PFP-7.
March 2, 201115 yr Oh man, that looks so good, but it's now 15 minutes past midnight here. If I have a virtual cuppa I will be up virtually all night.
