(Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - March 1, 2011) MSI Malaysia is glad to announce that shipments of the MSI 6 series mainboards equipped with the new Intel B3 stepping chipsets are estimated to arrive at various local distributor venues on 3rd March, 2011. The mainboards are scheduled for retail in the following week. The affected mainboards are listed below.

MSI Mainboards
Intel P67: P67A-GD65, P67A-GD55, P67A-GD53, P67A-C45, P67A-C43.
Intel H67: H67MA-ED55, H67MA-E45, H67MA-E35.

Replacement Solution
Announcements to kick-start the Sandy Bridge Replacement Program will be made upon receipt of the shipments.

Additionally, MSI Malaysia regrets to inform that there has been a delay in the shipping of the MSI SATA2 Addon Card. To address the consequences of this delay, affected users are given the option to swap the mainboard in the interim pending delivery of the MSI SATA3 Addon Card to their preferred addresses via Poslaju. The other option available would be to wait for the restocking of the MSI SATA3 Addon Card anticipated to be completed by 31 March 2011. Those who prefer this option will have the opportunity to make a mainboard exchange and receive the MSI SATA3 Addon Card on the same day.

The MSI Malaysia Representative Office shall be the designated replacement center for all affected users in the Kuala Lumpur/Selangor area. Affected users from outside the area are required to contact their respective dealers for replacements. To qualify for a replacement, kindly provide MSI Malaysia with the faulty mainboard (with the valid Serial Number sticker still intact) and Proof of Purchase.

Dear DarkNite,
Thank you very much. We really appreciate it.

I've heard of such solutions offered by Tiger Direct as well..
Is MSI the only one doing this or other companies are doing this as well?

hmm i think these replacement programs should be pinned up.

so far only MSI if I'm not mistaken very nice of them to add in some extra goodies.
wait, is it a SATA3 or USB3 addon card?

Dear TechnoG,

It's a 2 port SATA 6.0 Gbps Card.

WoW. MSI will replace the board with the new one and then add another SATA3 card. Get freebie from MSI!

what card pcie1x?

btw kudos for MSI for this.

Question: How about customers outside of KL?

I thought it is the MSI STAR USB3, since most people need the extra USB ports instead of SATA3 IMO
