Intel® 865PE Chipset Situation, Position and Policy

Intel® introduced the Performance Acceleration Technology (Intel® PAT) feature with the Intel® 875P chipset to ensure we can offer a robust way to implement a high performance feature, without compromising the integrity of Intel® chipset and processor based platforms. The concept of Intel® PAT includes performance enhancements in the 875P chipset design, as well as making sure that every 875P chipset that ships from Intel® is fully tested and validated to work as designed over the entire specified operating range, which includes the provisions for silicon skew, temperature and motherboard skew.

With the most recent so-called "Intel® PAT implementations" provided by a group of vendors on their platforms using Intel® 865PE chipsets, this test and validation criteria is not conducted by Intel® for the 865PE chipset and the platform quality and reliability concerning these Intel® PAT implementations should be called into question. Intel® has procured some of these 865PE chipset-based motherboard products that are claiming to enable Intel® PAT, and our initial observations indicate these platforms exhibit instability and in some cases actual failure.

This marginality can be attributed to the way in which the 865PE chipsets are being "tricked" into a non-specified and non-validated operating mode. In the cases that Intel® has observed, certain internal data paths and signals are being run at up to 50% above their specified operating range, which can lead to external interface marginality - this is commonly referred to as "over-clocking". To be clear, the performance increase achieved by these platforms is the result of over-clocking and other non-compliant usage, and users of these platforms are not receiving the benefits of 875P chipset-based platforms with Intel® PAT functionality.

Intel® does not condone over-clocking, and users and/or system manufacturers that employ over-clocking may void their Intel® chipset warrantees and subsequently, any failures associated to an over-clocked Intel® chipset may be the sole responsibility of the user or system manufacturer. With the 875P chipset, the internal signals, including Intel® PAT capabilities, are being run as designed, tested and validated by Intel®, and this results in a very robust platform across silicon and board skew and all specified temperature ranges.

Io ho un sata da 200gb che mi è esploso 2 settimane fa (si è completamente aperto un chip, sparando i dentini in giro, nonstante fosse raffreddato con dissipatore in alluminio con due ventole...)
Per fortuna me lo hanno sostituito in negozio, ma essendo finiti i maxtor mi hanno dato un seagate allo stesso prezzo.

He ho anche un altro sata da 200gb, sul pc di mio fratello... ma che è questa upgrade?
