Sandy Bridge SATA degradation flaw
The 67 chipsets SATA (3 Gbps) ports were supposed to fail over time.
I still have several PCs with 67 chipsets. I don't know what stepping they are (old or fixed). So how to tell? Would plugging in an SSD and doing a large file benchmark diagnose a sickly chipset? |

Would plugging in an SSD and doing a large file benchmark diagnose a sickly chipset? The part numbers are here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_chipsets "degrade over time until they become unusable" === ref. SATA port SLH84(B2) (Recalled) SLJ4C(B3) SLH82(B2) (Recalled) SLJ49(B3) If the top of the chip has no heatsink, you might read the part number off the top. The SLxxx value. Only the first batch of boards had the B2 part, and since Intel was paying the bill, those boards could be recalled from the stores. You can see the SLH84 on this one. Printed right on the chip. http://www.pcstats.com/articleimages...67Aud7_P67.jpg The recalled one is likely "Revision 1" while the fixed one would be a higher Revision number. Use a copy of CPUZ. This picture is intended to demonstrate the principle of what field to check. This is *not* a picture of an H67 system. But it does show a revision field number, which can be used to figure it out, if you cannot gain access to the SLxxx number. https://i.postimg.cc/yYX6R1W7/cpuz.gif HTH, Paul |
