CPU giant made a false start with the release of its chipsets Series 6 (Cougar Point). This happened because of an error, which concerns the operation of the controller SATA. The company said that the serial ports can go bad over time that will lead to poor performance IO in the future. According to Intel, users can safely continue to work with systems based on the 2nd generation Core i5 and Core i7, waiting for the manufacturer to offer a solution to eliminate the defect.

To find out immediately when there is an error in a new motherboard based on the logic Intel 6x (Cougar Point) can do a little experiment. Romanian colleagues from the site Lab501 suggest to use for this tool HDTune, which will make the correct diagnosis controller SATA. Run the utility and select the tab «Health». The diagnosis is that of a healthy chip.

lame controller SATA chipset Cougar Point will just such a picture.

Therefore, we recommend to do this to all owners of systems LGA 1155 that already know what to expect.

Update. As we know from our own sources, our Romanian colleagues, a little rushed and, in fact, wishful thinking. The fact that the problem is the probabilistic nature of its manifestation. Approximately 5-15% of users of motherboards may find its expression during the life of your PC – it affects three factors – the temperature of the chip, voltage and time. So predict the occurrence of the above problems the utility can not – it can only establish its presence.
