I doubt that. Boards are obsolete in a few months and none sell for very
long. Also its often a particular revision of a board or a particular
BIOS, revision and combination of other bits (sometimes which PCI cards
are in which PCI slots even matters).

As the IT8212 maintainer I'm aware of I think 3 people with problems with
IT8212 hardware and lots of people without. So its hardly a common
problem on a common board.
