The processors have never left.

It's the motherboards that have the problem.

I didn't know they even left? The local MC here in the Twin Citys still had them on the shelves. Said they had no reason to pull them as the cpus are not the problem.

I know they're not the problem, but that hasn't stopped most retailers from pulling them from their stock.

The one closest to me, in Boston, has been out of stock for a while. Hoping to make the trip down this weekend to snag one.

Pretty sure its just a case of carefull (with our money) retailers. When it all blew up and nobody was sure what was up Im sure many retailers just pulled the CPU's and MB "in case" saves them alot of shipping headaches and RMA. etc.. Just simple $$$ sense. Of course now that is a MB problem and not CPU, why not put um out? Though I cant see alot of demand half the MB market is dead till april.

I don't know why newegg would do that. I guess they want more money. Now that I think of it the CPU doesn't have a bug so I guess their selling it.

I urge people with SandyBridge already to wait until late Feb or March so you can return your mobo and get a refund or get a replacement to B3 stepping. All mobo makers have halted sale of the defective Sandy B2 stepping. Thanks,,

They would likely suffer much higher than normal returns from customers once they found out about the lack of available motherboards.

I am running a high voltage too as you can see in sig rig

It wont die as long as the full load throttle temp stays in 60's and 70's .

Idle doesn't matter.

What are your temps ? What cooling you got ?

Temps are staying mid 60's ( Ambient ~21 ) with Folding@Home 100% load .. Cooling is Coolermaster 212+ ..

I can see why they pulled the SB CPUs for a bit. They had to get the P6 chipset problem sorted out first and let people know what was going on. Now that most folks know of the problems and recall they can go back and offer SB CPUs again for those that want to go ahead and buy in advance with full knowledge of whats going on and when the new P6 mobos might be available.

In my case I had ordered the night before the recall became known so the next day after the recall became publicly known NE sent my order out minus the P6 mobo and 2500k CPU. Which was probably wise on their part in case I wanted to go AMD or a older gen Intel build instead.

Does it make sense to have SB CPUs up? I mean sure it doesn't hurt, but if you put SB CPUs up, people will run out to buy a P67/H67 board somehow and get themselves hurt. Then again that's just their fault, but how much benefit is it when the H67/P67 boards are pulled most places? It's like selling cars when there's no gas in the world. You might as well pull both.

Anybody that's buying Sandy Bridge CPUs and boards are probably aware of the risks involved.

If you're fully aware of the issues, there's no harm in buying. Some users may not even have to use more than 2 SATA drives.

I would have to agree. From the seller, and I am basing this on the bricks and mortar stores, they should make anyone aware of the issue if they haven't known already. Plus with the 1155 chip, you know they will have the P67/H67 back on the market ASAP. So, with that being said, I just may go and get me another at MC.

Bros,

I just purchased an i5 2500k and a Mobo as I'll use the SATA 3's only... Picked these two up today from a local computer store for a fair price and ordered the rest of what I needed from Newegg tuesday so should have the rest tomorrow... I had to have a new PC and it was either spend more on a non SB Intel cpu and mobo or deal with the SB's issue and take advantage of its prices and perks...
