Newegg P8p67 Pro Deactivated?

[nged72]

Is this motherboard still available? I was hoping to write a review about how poor ASUS customer service is on this board. I cant even search it on Newegg

 

[ortoklaz]

they knew you wore going to do it ,they deactivated all of the P67 mobos

 

[nged72]

LoL, is there a reason behind all of them being gone? or did you hack their website

 

[mavroxur]

The pending recall is why they're deactivated.

 

[nged72]

are you being serious???

Is it just the Motheboards or the CPU's?

 

[kilo_17]

The CPU's are fine, it's the chipset

 

[nged72]

Grr that sucks

Have they announced how it will work? Will I have to RMA my MOBO now or wait until they tell me to? I have so many questions; just want to make sure I dont get screwed out of sending my stuff back

 

[kilo_17]

I personally haven't seen anything on how their going to do it, keep in mind this stuff just surfaced today I believe

 

[nged72]

Well thanks for the Headsup, it would be nice if they would hurry and tell us how it's going to work. I was going to RMA my board because of a PS/2 Mouse/Keyboard issue I have been having. Now idk if I should RMA it now or wait until I HAVE to RMA it lol.

They will mail you the chipset, you have to IR or hot air rework the motherboard yourself. Seriously, you will probably be offered an RMA to send your board back and have it replaced.

It doesn't sound like an issue that will render your PC unusable, I wouldn't panic. It's not like the chipset is going to catch in fire or anything, their basically saying a SATA port could crap out after a while

Heh, I already have one of these boards with an i7 2600k. As I see it though, it's nothing I can't work around since the board does offer four SATA 3 6Gb/s ports unaffected by the bug.

 

[nged72]

Don't get me wrong I'm not freaking out or anything, I was just about to RMA my board for a previous issue, but if they give a Free RMA later for a new board, I will just wait.

Last i checked, SATA ports dying tend to render a PC unusable, unless you want to add a PCIe / PCI SATA card.

They don't all die, just some of them.

Agreed...it's only the SATA 3Gbs ports - Anandtech has a great article detailing it and why it is happening. I haven't heard word yet about the RMA process, but it is still really new - only a day or so old at this point.

Here's a link I posted with newegg's stated policy on the Sandy Bridge chipset recall. They RMA'd (full refund) my Asus P67 mobo without any question and, when I asked for a supervisor, my core i5 2400s CPU as well.
