Motherboards with Revised Intel 8-series Chipset to Show up by September
Motherboards running C2-stepping Intel 8-series chipsets should begin surfacing on the market in September 2013, according to a DigiTimes report. The C2-stepping addresses a design flaw in the 8-series chipset's integrated USB 3.0 host controllers, which causes connected devices to improperly reinitialize after the system resumes from a sleep state such as S3 (suspend-to-RAM), forcing users to unplug and replug such devices; which can particularly be an irritant for people running USB 3.0 external RAID boxes.
The USB 3.0 erratum came to public light a bit too late for Intel to delay the June launch of its 4th generation Core "Haswell" processors platform. By the time it emerged that Intel was working on the C2-stepping, production of socket LGA1150 motherboards were already on full-swing, and at the time it was predicted that motherboards with the rectified chipsets would fill up inventory by late-Q3 or early-Q4, 2013. This update point out at September checks out.

Yeah, this issue isn't worth waiting to buy IMO. I mean disable sleep if it gets annoying. :)
NO avoiding the problem for me.
ALso, I have SSDs that cause stability issues, or fail to post. IF they can fix these issues, I'm all for it.
So far across......oof... OCZ Vertex 2, Agility 3, SanDisk Extreme II, AData SX900, Vertex 4, and Vector, no issues on MPower MAX, XPower, or Biostar Hi-Fi.
What SSDs and what boards did that happen to?
and Corsair F60 (cssd-f60gb2)
Same problems on every board I've tested to date. Drives work fine via USB dock, however(I'm using the F60 for USB3 testing in my reviews even), and also work fine when connected via secondary ASMedia SATA controllers.
+1 to Fourstaff...for different reasons. Nobody using s1155 should be making this leap in the first place...
The drives:
The Agility 3 is SF based though. And IIRC, so is the ADATA? Iunno. is this only on ASUS boardS?
Any help you got for this is appreciated.;)

HERE TOO
Even if the issues doesn't affect you, or there is ways around it, no one wants a flawed system. You shouldn't have to disable stuff to avoid problems.
I cant see how they didnt discover this fault earlier....seems pretty straight forward.
