Ok I just purchased the i7 sandy bridge 2600k is this the same chip
Do I need to return it?
yes
Wrong! The problem effects the Intel series 6 motherboard chipsets also known as the P67 and H67 -chipsets. This problem does not effect the Sandy Bridge Core i5 and i7 -processors! Also, the only major problem is with the SATA 3GB/s -ports, so if you don't use them, you should be OK. My Asus P8P67 EVO -motherboard has 4 x 6GB/s-ports so I'm only using them and hoping for the best...
