Gigabyte releases free tool to check your possibly affected Sandy Bridge board

Intel's Sandy Bridge chip problem is causing quite the kerfuffle. Working in retail selling these boards everyday is going to be hard for the next few months. What do you tell customers? As a retailer we're having to explain a huge issue which is daunting to a new customer coming in off the street, however most manufacturers are stepping up to the plate with some great service.


Gigabyte now has a free tool to check 6-series motherboards for their SATA problem. It will check if the installed hard drives are connected to the defective SATA ports, whether the board is prone to the said defect. Not all 6-series motherboards have the issue, so having a tool like this is quite helpful. Nice work Gigabyte!

Maybe I can finally get to visit the Norman Rockwell Museum of Stockbridge Massachusetts one day soon.

I've read between tpc's T-Junction and his customer engaging on a war because of this issue.. hehe grabe nga gubot nila.. this tool could resolve their issue since ang gusto sa customer kay ipa refund drtso iyang board bisan wa pa ngamit.. Dako pd ning tabang sa tanan nga naka sugod na gamit ni Sanding.. hehe

Yeah I've also read about their debate, cant really blame either since both of their hands are tied at the moment.
