Well, tell that to my chipset's SATA controllers (Sandbridge generation).

Intel messed up their life expectancy calculations, and thus they died after 2~3 years. I think 2 are still alive.



The Sandy Bridge SATA issue did make big waves back then and Intel did a recall IIRC.

Only the B2 stepping of chipsets should be affected by this tough.

I guess I should have gotten a replacement board.

I'll probably just upgrade to Zen3 soon, so it'd not be worth the effort (the machine in question is off and in storage).


Looks like you should have put a fan on that chipset. Like your GPU, which runs at extreme temperatures for extended periods of time!


It was cooled by the OEM config. And the chipset did get nice airflow.
