Sandy Bridge chipset problem

New computers from Dell desktop XPS 8300 with processors Intel i7 2600 still have the 'Sandy Bridge chipset' fault on their motherboards 67-series?  I read that Dell at first continued to build defective systems, while planning replace motherboards later for customers who have applied the patch.  Is this still the case now?

Don't believe everything you hear / read:

en.Community.Dell.com/.../Intel-Chipset-issue.aspx

www.ZDNet.com/.../11220

They were 'fired' and is most sold once they have received the word of Intel on the issue.  Once equipped with the chipset update, sales picked up.  Motherboards have been replaced and returns available to those who bought before the problem came to light.

  • Satellite P750 - 10 c: HARD drive slows down - Sandy Bridge Cougar problem?

    Hello

    I have problem with my notebook Satellite P750 - 10 c with S/N: 4B478828K.
    When I enabled AHCI in the BIOS, computer slows diametrically, day after day was worste and worste, so I tried to change from AHCI to IDE and it helped a little, but is still not good.

    I tried to restore my system, but it did not help.
    I read that Intel has released a version tapped for Sandy Bridge chipset, I have (HM65) SATA 3Gbs problem (I just checked in HD Tune and HARD drive is connected to the port of 3Gbs), so I think I got bugged version.

    My laptop is not guaranteed, but Intel said they changed valid version, so where do I return my phone to fix.

    Kind regards

    > I read that Intel launched buggy version of the chipset for Sandy Bridge.
    The problem was a Cougar Point of Sandy Bridge chipset and not the main processor Sandy Bridge.

    In addition Intel said that this issue affected only the SATA 2 to 5 and not ports 0 and 1.
    Most laptops use only two devices SATA (HDD/SSD and ODD) using the affected ports 0 and 1.
    That is why I think that your problem could be linked to the issue of Cougar Point the Sandy Bridge chipset.

    By the way: not all Intel Sandy Bridge chipsets have been affected.

    Regarding your question:
    Usually if AHCI is enabled, the HARD drive must use the performance of SATA. If compatibility mode, the HARD drive would go at the speed of the IDE.
    I think your problem is perhaps related to the problem drive HARD and not Intel problem.

  • Fix for nasty bug of Sandy Bridge badly on USB devices

    Anyone know if there is a fix yet, some USB devices fail intermittently on a new MB with Windows 7 64 - bit edition.

    It is a quad core running the Sandy Bridge chipset, and vodafone dongles does work, even if they did on W7 64 bit on the former Council.

    Fault too:-some external hard drives are not recognized on any port.

    Your hard drives are connected via SATA?

    There is a known issue with some Sandy Bridge chipsets, where ports SATA fail, don't know if it affects USB ports or not.

    Intel issued a notice of recall for this with the affected chipsets - did you check the Intel website to see if you are one of those affected

  • G6-1262sa Pavilion: Pavilion g6-1262sa CPU upgrade v2, Sandy Bridge = > Ivy Bridge?

    Hi, thanks to the Pavilion g6-1262sa maintenance and manual cleaning and this great forum, I recently discovered that replace my i3-2330 m is possible with all sandy bridge i7 2620m processors.

    These questions may sound silly, but I continued my research and I have more ideas to confront reality as a couple.

    I realize that the compatibility is not only matter of editing the same socket, but also of the bios installed on certain motherboard, however:

    1. do you think it would be possible to Exchange Sandy Bridge (2nd generation) i3 - 2330 m for some Ivy Bridge (3rd generation) i5-3210 m?

    2 is the 32nm to 22nm manufacturing technology enough difference on its own (even if the rest of the architecture is the same) to prevent that to work?

    3 is the bios from my card mother g6 identyfying somehow installed processor? (if this isn't on 'the list' it simply won't work? "or what technical compatibility issue?

    According to some statements which I found it on some forums and sites (and a few facts documented free):

    Socket: the two processors are compatible with BGA1023 decision-making. (at least that's what I found, if someone could confirm I would be grateful)

    Difference of architecture: "The 3rd generation is called 'Ivy Bridge' and is essentially a copy of Sandy Bridge made on a smaller scale, or die." However, Intel also focused on beefing up of the onboard graphics in this generation. »

    TDP: both are 35 W

    Carrots: both are 2 physical (Virtual 4 - thanks to hyperthreading I guess?)

    Energy consumption: "Ivy Bridge CPUS also use less energy", "Ivy Bridge consumes less energy; around 10w, I think. »

    Temperature: i5-3210 m going 5 * C more - 2330 m - i3 shouldn't make much difference

    Looking forward to some responses, RacA

    It is not a technical incompatibility (socket) because as you probably know Ivy Bridge and Sandy Bridge are backward compatible on most motherboards desktop. However, HP has only implemented gen 2d, processor Intel Core compatibility of the HM65 Express chipset that you a. motherboards supporting 3rd gen processors use the HM77 chipset. There is no another motherboard that will fit in your frame.

    Your analysis above, which was pretty good, left out the chipset, which you must always remember when assessing the possibilities of upgrade:

    http://www.CPU-upgrade.com/MB-Intel_%28chipsets%29/HM65_Express.html

    The HM65 supports a couple 3rd gen processors, but none of them are on the list of HP for your model. You can try one of those shown in the link I gave, but I think that there is a small chance that they will work.

  • Sandy Bridge for Ivy Bridge CPU upgrade in the W520

    Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge using the same socket. All tech sites say that we can do.

    What are the implications? With HD-4000 graphics I would now be able to drive 4 monitors? What other benefits are there? Energy consumption is slightly reduced, the speed is slightly increased.

    What are the limits of the chipset and BIOS implications?

    It's probably not about the money, but will it work?


  • Dynamic Cluster migration "Haswell" Intel and Intel 'Sandy Bridge' Cluster

    Hi all

    Need your help on this, on our below, we have two clusters ClusterA (EVC mode is Intel Haswell) and focus (EVC mode is Intel Sandy Bridge), the current problem we are facing right now is that we can not migrate from VM direct of clusterA to b, but successful once we stop the virtual machine and migrate to b. Webcam live migration of VM of focus to ClusterA now question. My question is, is there a way that we can migrate from VM direct ClusterA to b without changing the mode of the VCA on the two hosts?

    Details of home:

    Group A:
    CPU: Intel Xeon CPU E5-2698 V3 2.30 Ghz
    RAM: 256 GB
    EVC: Intel "Haswell" generation


    Group b:

    CPU: Intel Xeon CPU 2.6 Ghz E5-2670

    RAM: 256 GB

    EVC: Intel 'Sandy Bridge' generation

    If a processor can support level VCA XN, it can also support XN-1 to Xlevels 0. For example, a processor that supports Intel EVC baseline 'Sandy Bridge' generation has a level of EVC of L4. Therefore, it can also support VCA L0, L1, L3 and L2 levels. However, he cannot bear VCA level L5, which corresponds to the generation of Intel®'s "Ivy Bridge'. Intel EVC baselines are listed in table 1.1.

    Ref: KB VMware: best vMotion compatibility (EVC) processor support

    Thus, virtual machines that are running in your focus (EVC mode is Intel Sandy Bridge), should be able to move freely (vMotion) to b (mode of EVC is Intel Sandy Bridge) to ClusterA (EVC mode is Intel Haswell) and A to B provided that the virtual machine that is in your Cluster B vMotioned while in Group A and A is not in the power Cycle, if you put it off and on again then it will be new pickup EVC mode, otherwise it will continue to work with his original mode of VCA.

    But if you take the case of the virtual machines running within your group, those who can not be vMotioned to group B, because they are running with mode higher CVS, canoe taken to lower VCA as live migration, you can migrate cold (power off and move)

    Ideally if you want to reach vMotion compatibility between the two clusters, you must set the VCA mode for each group for Intel Sandy Bridge. But like asking you if you won't change EVC mode at all, the solution proposed would be

    Turned off of the virtual machines in your A group phase by phase, turn cold migration from Group B, there and let the fashion of these machines virtual micro Cluster B EVC, then move them again in A Cluster, in short to realize all the VM in EVC of Cluster B mode. But you will always be in the face of challenge then if VM through the feeding cycle while in Group A, it will pickup Haswell VCA mode and you will lose compatibility vMotion for this virtual machine on cluster again.

    so, what you're asking can be done using method above, but better would be to have two clusters in the VCA mode even if you don't have to worry about power cycles.

    Note: You need to use vSphere Web Client.

  • Bridge CC, problems to read exr files

    Hello

    I have aways only works with bridge by selecting the exr files, my client is sendig to me... no problems until now.

    the latest version of bridge shoes a dialog box to choose how treat the Alpha channel:

    'OpenEXR read viedeo' with the choice between

    - Like transparency

    - As an Alpha channel

    with the OK button cancel.

    If you press OK (no choice) the preview will load and before loading her you are invited to the same box.

    If you press Cancel no preview is loaded (just the generic icon for the content of the image) and you also get the same box for the next doc...

    no chance to load in the background and if you have 500 documents in the folder, you click 500 times the same key a wait of a few seconds for the next.

    (not even with the menu - Tools - hide - Build and hide export)

    I work on Mac OS Yosemite (10.10.5)

    Thanks Ole

    Hello

    The problem should be resolved with the latest version, however, we have published a new version of Adobe Bridge (CC 2017) on 2 November 2016. The new version of version number is 7.0.0.93. This version is available for installation via the Adobe Creative Cloud application.

    Please try the new version and look for problems you encounter. We discussed some of the ease of use and the Bridge crash problems Photodownloader in new version.

    You may need to update the creative cloud app and restart your computer to see the update patch.

    If you still faces, the same question,

    1. Please share your OS of machine details

    2. Please confirm the bridge installed on your machine using version-> on the bridge.

    3. If possible, please send us screenshot of the question, that you face.

  • Sandy Bridge and PCI channels/performance question

    I was doing emergency surgery on my old HP and I remembered that I have a couple of old graphics cards lying around. And that made me think of my collection in constant expansion of hard drives and never less in less free time, backups, and Sandy Bridge platform limited channels PCI and their (real? theoretical?) effect on performance with cards cards additional specifically RAID. If I'm covering old ground, let me know.

    As I understand, there is not much to be gained by installing an old ATI HD2400 Pro or similar in a new computer, what I'm really wondering is - after installing the card and a third running monitor on it - of the main graphics card and related parts of my system would suffer a slowdown similar to what might be expected if a RAID card is installed.

    (And no, I don't mean to revive the heated discussions of Sandy Bridge / X 58.) Is it you like someone ' one, anyone - let them be above!)

    I am just wondering if it might be a worthwhile project to compare benchmarks with and without a second graphics card installed and if someone thinks it would be a logical way to see no effect on the allocation of 570's PCI channels alone, without the complication of a real external RAID array question (and the enormous benefits it would probably).

  • Yet another thread Sandy Bridge vs i7 - 9XX; 16GB vs 24 GB of memory?

    Gentlemen.

    Like many others, I read the hardware threads on an ongoing basis since getting CS5 about a year, including (I think) all items for damage. I feel that I have a basic understanding of the socket 1366 vs debate 1155/6. No need to re-hash things this time.

    Yet, I think bad and others have made convincing for those who need the best, the X 58 with a big-time RAID configuration cannot be beat for the distribution of data and achieve the Holy Grail - balance. The worst the Z68 is derisory location of PCI-E lanes. I do not fully understand, but he can see that the many alleyways less, shared, is less than X 58. But don't the Z68 missing completely those of us who do not push the envelope? Who have a little more time waiting while the ' puter calculates?

    I am on a budget and just want to spend my AMD Phenom II platform to an Intel platform. I mainly turn student videos of math which, by nature, must be no more than 5 minutes or more in length. My camera is a Canon T2i images so AVCHD. I took the advice of a member of the Board of Directors and will probably start shooting in VGA, questioning the sanity of shooting HD for clips that do not need to run mode full-screen. Overall, my requirements are on the low end (except for the codec. And I am ready to undertake NeoScene as a patch). I suspect that my needs are in line with many of those who can offer the student of CS5 version and find themselves in need of a new platform, but perhaps not ready for professionals.

    Quick Sync appealed to me, that I need to transcode frequently for mobile devices. In addition, other teachers in the building along with camcorders JVC .mov, which means that they can not often change with their favorite software. I find myself any transcoding of our small team.

    As I started to build something again over the summer, I'm trying to settle major issues in the face of those of us tax less end of the spectrum. I'll never get a RAID card, but have an arrangement of 5-disc basis, including a RAID on 2 discs 0 for a film. All I have to to is sorting out which platform is best for my needs of any

    I'm just trying to move to Intel without breaking. But if another $ 250 for the X 58 will make a HUGE difference, so I would probably jump. Ventilation for a cheap (er) Intel platform:

    CPU: i7 - 2500K. No Hyper-Threading but technology can overclock beyond more expensive i7-950. Only $30 cheaper than the i7-950. Spend $100 more for i7 - 2600K and get a higher Nehalem processor, but out behind on $$$.


    Motherboards: Z68 starts about $130 for a decent spec'ed ASRock Z68 PRO3 to the ' egg. Fall another $20 for a combo with the CPU. Cripes, X 58 boards are expensive!

    After the motherboard, i7 - 2500K and ASRock seek powerful good. $125 less than i7 - 950 and X 58 and who is with a X 58 cheaper Board. In addition, a four-stick kit memory 16GB is about $100 cheaper than 24 GB of G.Skill, rated either in ability Newegg brand. Economy of $225-ish. As long as my needs are satisfied, I'll save money and get a quick synchronization to start. At this point, I'm willing to bet that my short-clip needs will be met, in fact.

    Thesis: Now, here can be the deciding factor - with the price of memory fall big-time, but within reasonable limits maximum memory on each platform. X 58 may take 24 GB, the senior Z68 to 16 GB. I remember Bill Gehrke saying that the first results of the suite of PPBM5 showed a difference in (rendering?) time with the jump to 24gigs. I think that the 16 GB looks like a lot of memory, which is. But dropping $100 for 24 concerts would be a game changer? I don't talk a 24 GB kits cheap with 9-9-9 times, not something jumped to hop to the top. (Requires X 58 memory super - duper or a motherboard $ 300 to run in fact 24 GB?)

    X 58 may take 24 GB triple-channel memory would be the last word? For all of my tent to save $250 or more by going cheap (er) with i7 - 2500K SB, I'll miss on perhaps the most important? Most of the other programs in CS5 uses CUDA to accelerate - would be slightly less powerful i7-950 processor so supplemented by another 8GB (more than 50%!) of system memory that would apparently stealing other programs compared to SB?

    If CS5 works just like a dog scalded on 24 GB, then I will suck and renounce Quick Sync and spend a little more money. I feel there is a difference of opinion if Sandy Bridge is a stronger for the edition CPU (even if there is no debate on X 58 vs Z68 for the processing of data). But it seems that there should be a clearer idea the benefits of 16 vs 24 GB of memory.

    Everyone here would make a decision based on this last aspect?

    Joel, the extra memory essentially has no effect on the scores of PPBM5 with the CS5 version.  We do not yet have any information on the CS5.5.  Look at the fourth note on PPBM5 it has been implemented with 14 GB on an X 58 Board.  Ultra complex timeline manipulation and encoding may be a little different.  I suspect this fall when the Sandy Bridge E CPU and motherboards are released that will start to see the memory strong 8 GB for these cards so that when this produces the current generation Sandy Bridge motherboards will be then be able to be upgraded to 32 GB as some motherboard manufacturers have promised.

  • HP Pavilion DV6-3041TX drive HARD failure and possible design Intel series 6 Chipset problem

    Hey guys

    I saw corruption serious hdd on my system for some time now and was just move to replace the drive hard when I came across the problem of design of Intel® chipsets. Now, I think that my system is the range of serial number for this question and as the current drive does not start, I can't check the Device Manager to see if the chipset is one of those affected.

    Is there anyway for me to check this from a USB bootable or something similar, because I don't want to have to go through the effort to replace the hard drive and reinstall windows just to find the chipset is wrong?
