All Asrock P67 mobos deactivated at newegg
roscolo
Anyone know why all the Asrock p67 mobos show as deactivated at newegg? They don't show as sold out - deactivated. Decided I would rather go with one of the Asrock p67's rather than the Asus, but maybe there's a problem.

Interesting ?!
Officially no news -> http://www.asrock.com/news/index.asp
I know they're built in Taiwan and get some of their parts from Japan, but ASUS who owns ASRock is still listed. -

Hardware...
17:25:24 : {Confidential}: We did have a recall on some of our motherboards.
This is more widespread than ASRock.
Oh wow -- that's extremely interesting. I hope you'll share details on how far this goes when you know. Is Sandy Bridge cursed? -
They didn't share too many details. The most common P67 issue I've been seeing is HDD/SSD recognition problems across MOBO Mfg's. As best practices, I've been telling people to flash their BIOS before doing anything more.
The second is sudden shutdowns often corrected by flashing. Plus there's a known bug with 3/4-WAY CF/SLI with NF200 equipped P67's which is driver related.
My money is on the Intel SATA recognition issue. -

That's what I was thinking, too, but check out the following:
ASRock: http://bit.ly/gSwjJx
Asus: http://bit.ly/h1MtY5
Gigabyte: http://bit.ly/hNAnxW
MSI: http://bit.ly/gjDl8A
Can ASRock really be the only one that just happens to have no boards to sell? Even when there are no Asus boards available within that model number, they haven't been disabling the listing -- just saying in the listing that there are none currently available, so I remain suspicious. -
Here's the full log:
17:19:07 : Jaquith: Why are ALL P67 ASRock MOBOs 'Deactivated?'
17:25:24 : ---: We did have a recall on some of our motherboards.
17:28:33 : Jaquith: I assumed so, noticed both ASUS and ASRock with Intel SATA3 issues. Typically resolved
by BIOS updates. Question, any details or specific reasons why?
17:29:10 : ---: I apologize we do not have that information.
Knock yourself out {Chat} -> http://www.newegg.com/HelpInfo/OverView.aspx#ContactUsTab -
Hmm. jaquith -- I did not realize that it was newegg you contacted. I thougt your communication was with a ASRock insider.
Interesting -- I wonder how informed that customer service rep was. It's possible that the recall to which he was referring was the old cougar point recall; my hypothesis is that he may chalk up the deactivation of the board listings to the fact that ASRock has not been able to keep p687 boards in stock due to all the RMAs they have to handle.
Same thing is happening with P8P67 Pro -- there still isn't a listing for the ATX P8P67 Pro up yet... -
I said, "This is more widespread than ASRock." -- pretty much ruling-out an ASRock only response. The log is longer before and after, but I didn't feel like deleting all the names with pointless chatter. Nor am trying to be a reporter - however, I did kick it up the ladder to Toms so they can play reporter.
The ASRock {B3} were indeed the ones pulled, but the response was "some of our motherboards" leaving open not only ASRock. ALL non-B3 MOBO's were pulled way back and the day of the recall, and I was looking at ASRock P67's just yesterday.
Don't forget ASUS owns ASRock!
I'm not a P67 fanboy so I didn't feel like going to ASUS, MSI, ASRock, Gigabyte, BioStar, etc... to confirm something I really do care too much about. -

lol...you're not a p67 fanboy. What is that even supposed to mean? There's no alternative to P67 at this point. It beats the hell out of anything out there until Ivy bridge, 2011, or bulldozer is released. -

Well I'm an X58 and next the X68/X79 fanboy. Never was a P55 fanboy either, I don't build on the consumer lines. I skip the consumer lines. Nor did I say they're bad.
Don't get me wrong I am indeed a Sandy Bridge fanboy. I can guarantee you though I'm not going to be an Early Adopter of the X68/X79I'm leaving a wide girth 30+ days and 2+ BIOS revisions.

Yeah fair enough. I'm steering clear of LGA2011 for one reason -- price.
Good call on the early adopter thing -- in addition to the inevitable BIOS revisions, you can look forward to ordering at a lower price. That's what's keeping me away from SB for now... -
Most of the P55 vs X58 builds were within a $100~$200, closer to the $100 especially if you're in driving distance to a http://www.microcenter.com/ . Also, if you're running a single {any} GPU then don't wait go the P67 route. I cannot recommend tossing in a 3/4-WAY GTX 580 on a P67 -- crazy then if the complaint is the X68/X79 is too expensive.
The weirdest thing is if you're an extreme Gamer then in order to get 32-lanes on X68/X79 you're forced to get a 6/8-core SB -- knowing that 2 maybe 4 at the most cores are being used?? Blame Intel! -
I'm a little late in the thread but which motherboard do you want exactly? This website has almost every P67 Asrock mobo.

I was planning to buy an ASRock P67 Pro3 but then I saw this 0.o
I'm buying in Australia, where most shops continued to list non-B3 motherboards even after the recall and it worries me that the same will happen if I buy an ASRock.
EDIT: I have a feeling that what daship said was right, they are out of stock and don't have a confirmed shipment date. And the customer service guy that responded to you got confused with the initial recall. Don't know how good Newegg support is but most stores I've dealt with often don't read messages properly. Was there anything else that totally confirmed it was a "second" recall?
That said, I hope this is the case. I don't want to delay my build any longer =( -
This could just as easily be a recalled 'Bad Batch' same as with the Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD3 & GA-P67A-UD5 sometime ago e.g. http://forums.extremeoverclocking.com/showthread.php?t=350941

Well the ASRock P67's are gone from Newegg, Amazon, Tigerdirect, Buy.com, CDW, PCMall, etc. At this point you'd be living under a rock to assume everything fine, or lacking any common sense. So think about it, warm up some brain cells, and even if you do or don't believe me and the Chat I saved it leaves only one explanation.
edit: The ONLY real question at this point is WHY are they recalled!? -

I agree it's certainly a good question. I looked at the ASRock news page (http://www.asrock.com/news/index.asp) and a couple of the third-party support forums that ASRock's website lists (http://www.asrock.com/support/forum.asp), but I could not find anything on any of these pages about another recall or anyone curious about the unavailability of boards in the retail channel.
This is not really related, but I found amusing one post in one of these supposedly third-party boards which announced that no complaints about the Cougar Point RMA process would be allowed. Kind of sketch, no? Here's the link:

A lot of Forums are paid though advertising a/k/a sponsorship. I've seen plenty of posts deleted or edited before when a post or posts are unkind in a variety of ways.
For 'some' reason ASRock doesn't want the 'reason(s)' made public. To me in the long run it makes you not trust the forums that impose censorship. Even this post has gotten the attention of the powers that be at ' Bestofmedia,' but I give them credit and admiration of not killing this post. Unlike TT that deletes anything at will that doesn't make their Sponsors shine.
Again, it's as I said ... ' WHY are they recalled!?' I don't really care
Bottom-Line: I respect ASRock for doing the right thing and Tom's Forums for the truth! I strongly recommend them both!
