In other words, I'm forced to use the SATA 2.0 controller, the controller which has caused Intel to recall all motherboards - and it works perfectly fine right now, unlike the "unaffected" SATA 3.0 controller.

Intel's Jesse Barnes has now also been able to reproduce my SNB Linux problems.

also it has been pointed out already on this thread but not corrected in the article about performance that
There is also the Core i5 2500 non-K processor that retails for about $10 less than the K version, with the sole difference being the 2500K being an unlocked processor so it will be able to overclock better. If doing any overclocking, you are best off with the K variant. The K variant does, however, lack VT-d support.
