All GeForce 8400 and 8600 Are Faulty!?

Couple of days ago, we reported that the defective NVidia mobile GPU should apparently not affect Apple hardware, as only the GF 8500M would be affected. Yesterday, an article published by The Inquirer reported that all, and not only selected production lots, of GeForce 8400 AND 8600 GPU graphic cards are affected by the heat-related failures due to an unidentified material used in GPU fabrication process. It would not only be restricted to the mobile version of those GPUs (8400M and 8600M), but although include the desktop version drived from the G84 and G86 cores. Despite NVidia's claims, that only HP products are affected one can expect other notebook and desktop models from Dell, ASUS PCs, as well as Apple, to be affected by this faulty chipset issue.
The Inquirer is accusing NVidia to know about the problem for well over a year and to not take any effective actions to fix it. For the time being, this remains only based on indirect sources, and it would be nice from NVidia to get a clear statement, and not hide the information as end users, mostly consumers would like to know if they have to expect their computer to turn dead over summer time…
