The chipset originally passed testing and qualification internally and through tests by PC makers, Smith said. The problem was identified on Sunday after Intel got a better understanding of circuit-level issues related to temperature, voltage and time degradation.

i'd guess for now, those who run one should better not overclock, maybe even point an additional fan towards the passive heatsinks of the chipset.
