Intel X58 Express Chipset B-2 to B-3 Stepping Change

[mikeyakame]

That.. and I still don't know what was the issue with it in the first place? The 222 bclock limitation? I highly doubt intel would be releasing a new revision that would make overclocking the non EE i7s any easier, and hurt the 965 sales.

It's as saaya and bingo13 have hinted. Minor bugfixes on X58 IOH, possibly to do with PCIE or QPI. BCLK limitation would be on the CPU itself.

What 222mhz BCLK limitation by the way? If you check the Overclocking forum, 241mhz BCLK has been reached.

Heres Errata update for B2 stepping. Fixes will most likely be some of the higher priority bugs found in this list. No errata update for B2 -> B3 stepping is publicly available yet.
