Pros: Price and features. Cons: Won't post if I make any changes to the CPU settings in the BIOS. from Newegg.com Pros: It came from Newegg. Initially, it appeared ECS got their act together and entered the enthusiast market for real. Cons: Fail. from Newegg.com Pros: Looked nice, lot of fan connectors on board, nice bundle considering price. Cons: Board would not go past bios, tired everything and it would not let me change the boot sequence and anytime I changed something in bios the computer would not restart, I would have to clear CMOS, which brought me back to square 1. Manufacturer Response:We are sorry to hear about the POST issues you are having when making changes in the BIOS. from Newegg.com Pros: Looked good on paper! Cons: I thought all motherboards were created decently.. but I was WRONG! from Newegg.com Pros: Nice features, looks pretty good. Can't really say anything more because I never got it up and running. Cons: Board was DOA. from Newegg.com Mobo lights will come one, along with power supply lights, but not power lights or the monitor. I have to use the (handy) CMOS reset button on the back of the board to reset the settings before it will post. I also tried OC'ing with AMD Overdrive, and the PC will immediately blue screen or crash, then reboot with the old setting. Again, this happens even if I set it to stock settings. from Newegg.com Pros: It came from Newegg. Initially, it appeared ECS got their act together and entered the enthusiast market for real.

Cons: I thought all motherboards were created decently.. but I was WRONG! from Newegg.com Can't really say anything more because I never got it up and running. Cons: Board was DOA. Tried contacting ECS about it for troubleshooting steps. I knew it was DOA, but I figured it was worth a shot. from Newegg.com
