Introduction
With the launch of Intel's Generation 2 Core family well under way, and revised boards fully in the consumer market, ECS has provided us with a revised product of their own, catering towards the enthusiast. ECS itself has, in recent years, entered the enthusiast market with their "Black Series" of products, which are targeted towards the advanced user. The ECS P67H2-A2, our subject today, is from the “Black” line of products, which we highlighted in a preview a couple of months ago, but it's no normal "Black Series"; it's a "Black Deluxe".
The Black Series of products from ECS centers around a tale of two defeated dragons who turned themselves into black holes in order to torment humanity, and have now returned looking to meet the heroes destined to slay them. An epic tale for what may very well prove to be a legendary board. Will the ECS P67H2-A2 prove to be the “Deluxe” weapon needed to slay the Sandybridge dragons? Read on to find out.
