Since they have no non-defective motherboards to give you I'm not sure how they'll handle it. I've got quite a few days, so I'll see how this thing starts playing out before making up my mind.Service parts, motherboards and processors may only be exchanged, and only if defective, within 30 days of purchase if in "like-new" condition.
I'd be curious to know what experience any of you have trying to return your motherboards to MC.
I bought mine from MC last Thursday. Their official return policy says

So is it just 2 sata ports that aren't working or is there more to it?
Four, not 2, and they will slowly degrade over time.So is it just 2 sata ports that aren't working or is there more to it?
I wonder if they degrade independently? So if after a while one starts to degrade, can you switch ports and keep using it for a while longer.
If you have a desktop system with six SATA ports driven off of P67/H67 chipset, theres a chance (at least 5%) that during normal use some of the 3Gbps ports will stop working over the course of 3 years.
I think ports 2-5 all share the same PLL, so they should all be equally affected.I wonder if they degrade independently? So if after a while one starts to degrade, can you switch ports and keep using it for a while longer.

Is this issue really that BIG? I got the i7-2600k and ASUS p8p67 Pro combo. I install the mobo, cup and memory but haven't not boot up yet due to my power cable from the PSU not reaching the 8 pin on the mobo. Should i just take it apart and try to return it and get my money back? I am desperate for a upgrade. Look at my sig
No its not really a big deal. The is a 5-15% chance that in the next 3 years some of you sata II ports will stop working properly.
I don't know why people are freaking out. I'll take my slightly defective SB mobo at 5ghz over my 920 @ 4ghz any day. And in a few months ill RMA for a new mobo, no big deal. My SB build is running rock solid, no reason to set it aside and wait for rma or return it.
I keep hearing of people exchanging it for a 950 build or going amd instead. WTF people!? That's like amputating your leg because you stubbed your toe.
My P67 setup has been rock solid really. No problems...
the sata 3gb ports "degrade" over time. its not something that your gonna notice right away.
mmkay?
It seems every place has taken any P67 board down. Newegg, Tiger Direct, Amazon to name a few. So does this mean no Socket 1155 CPU will be sold as well? The CPU is dead in the water without one..
Anyone know if the CPUs are still for sale? I was going to pick up another i5-2500K tonight.
Also, the fix has been implemented and updated chip sets are being produced. No reason that we will not see a fix before end of month.
