i just buy intel DH67CL . some one told me that these motherboard have issue with sata port. so i seach the internet

Intel® 6 Series Chipset — Chipset circuit design issue identified

On the above site of intel

(Is there a way I can tell an Intel® 6 Series Express Chipset B2 stepping from a B3 stepping?

The most accurate way to identify a B2 stepping from a B3 stepping is to read the S-Spec markings on the top of the Chipset.)

i check the chipset but can't get where S-spec is written. can any one help me out.

Well the issue was rectified in March 2011.. how did you buy such old stock a year later ? You should have checked for the mfg date when buying. Send it to RMA.

if you have bought intel H67 mobo in the last 6 months there is 99.99% probability that it is B3.if still in doubt look for a white sticker at the side of mobo packing mentioning serial no. barcodes etc.There it should be mentioned something like H67CLB3.
