Sandy Bridge Desktop CPUs and Motherboards [Updated]

It's certainly been a long road for Intel in a short time with the new Sandy Bridge Socket 1155 motherboards. Due to an early mistake in chipset design, every single motherboard produced by the manufacturers was recalled. Luckily over the past month, the manufacturers have released fixed models. Below is a list of all updated Gigabyte (B3) and ASUS (Rev. 3.0) motherboards, and links to our favorite online stores. We've also re-posted our top picks for the 2011 Intel Core-i3/i5/i7 lineup.
