    They yellow part is a fan shroud that helps cool MOSFETs and CPU. All of ECS' extreme boards have it.

    its ECS, much liek foxconn and pchips they do exactly what they say on the tine...nothing less and unfortunately nothing more.

    if you run ur stuff at stock one of those makes is fine, but for clockers then stick with your msi and dfi.

    Thats the cleanest board I've ever seen.

    n/a for me though as its Intel and its not a DFI ;)

    I dont believe Cross-Fire will be good if ECS is the first to releas cross-fire. It will be better when ASUS or MSI comes out with cross-fire mobo.

    I don't see what the big deal with ECS is. I am using an ECS board in my PC, with the RAM nad the Processor OC'd and I have no problems. Works great. I may go with dual ATi when I build my next PC (Coming soon to a Build thread near you :lol: )

    Ive got a ecs board, and its perfectly stable, as long as I run at stock speeds. I wouldnt go for it again as my main machine, but for a second machine / htpc etc I wouldnt think twice about it. If they can get out a nice stable board, most people wont care if it doesnt overclock.
