Following our news of 19, we received grinds emails of other retailers confirming of the problems with certain series of ICH5, which roast mysteriously. Questioned on this subject, some Russian sources of Taiwan provided us an explanation much more technical: The problem would come from peripherals USB or USB 2.0 (type rack usb) which do not respect completely standards USB on the level of the current consumption. This overload of current would involve the pure and simple destruction of Southbridge after a few times. Questioned on this subject, INTEL stated to us officially that this problem had been reproduced and noted and that the cause was well an overconsumption of current on ports USB. This would impact certain ICH5 like certain ICH4. The problem comes now from the responsibility for the problem. Very semi-officially this time, if the manufacturers of mother board point INTEL of the fingers by affirming that the southbridges should be equipped with a protection in the event of overload of current as indicated on the datasheets, INTEL returns the ball to the manufacturers who would not have respected the recommendations of the designs of reference (mother board INTEL not seeming not touched by the problem). At all events, INTEL promised a more complete answer to us quickly. Let us wait.
