Judging by their recent P55, H55, and H57 outings their quality has gone up a notch for one.

Quality could have gone up a lot and still be the worst in the industry :shadedshu

There are very few companies that I will never buy from, and ECS is one of them

Yeah just means I'm a voice of experience, it's a good board, wasn't going to debate that, just stating it's 2 major flaws.

Just found it funny was all. Even though it was a major PITA its still worth holding on to

theonedub · Oct 22, 2010

I wasn't the one recommending them :laugh:

I've had exp with their low end MB from back in the day, but none with their new boards. Merely noting that they are looking better

Maybe bta can give us some 1st hand exp with their new stuff?

can i ask why ECS? I know before everyone said to avoid them

It was an expression. How much ASUS has gone down the dumps in its models other than ROG/TUF series.

I completely disagree as I own 3 of their low end mother boards, and 2 of the ROG boards, and IMO the quality is quite high on both.

None. Asus and Gigabyte still make incredible boards, I don't regret my decision to get a P7P55D Pro for one minute :rockout:

Thrackan · Oct 22, 2010

Asus had several ultimate crap boards in the LGA775 range, vDrooping like madmen and instable like a newborn horse. They had some issues with their first LGA1336 boards, but have recovered quite well since then when you look at the quality of their products.

sneekypeet · Oct 22, 2010

I vote you should either post images of blown motherboards to back up your claims, or post more images of your own rigs

This is the PC ATM thread, not the who's motherboard sucks what thread, after all :roll:

MT Alex · Oct 24, 2010

Well, I added a POM 150 to the back of my tripple rad, a cheap X-Fi ExtremeGamer, a new pump, a NXTZ ATX cable, and got a new pair of Audio-Technica ATH-AD700s. I also blew enough dust out of my rads to make SoylentJoe soil his britches :laugh:

The cans truely are something special.

johnnyfiive · Oct 24, 2010

purrrttyyy mt alex!

Heres what im working on tonight... putting this $57 micro atx board to work...

Nothing spectacular unfortunately. I'm working with a Biostar A880G+ motherboard with a Athlon II X4 640 that is a bit stubborn voltage wise. Considering this board has no overclocking features, I'm proud of the 3.625GHz(250x14.5) (1.46v idle / 1.50v load

) clock from the default 3.0.

15c idle, 30c load. Gotta love water.

6870 will be here next week, can't wait.

MT Alex · Oct 24, 2010

I really like that EK res combo for the Jingway pump. I thought about getting one with the hopes that my taller Bitspower POM would thread into it. The Water Tank looks a tad wider to my eye, though.

Deleted member 74752 · Oct 24, 2010

I tried to put one together that I won't have to upgrade...we shall see. :laugh:

MT Alex · Oct 24, 2010

Did your 5870 fit into it? I didn't notice it in your Weapons Grade thread. Is that black hose some type of automotive part?

Lol!

Your rig is looking great dude. I also picked up a cheap sound card this weekend, a $7 Creative SoundBlaster. We'll see how it works out :toast:

(FIH) The Don · Oct 24, 2010

so....it seems like all the gtx-4xx cards i had so far cant stand the heat from folding 24/7, first the 465 died, currently under RMA, and now my 470 took a dump this morning

but luckily i got a very good friend who upgrades alot, and he had a gtx-285 laying that he didnt use :eek:

yes i should get off my lazy ass and make the rig look cleaner :slap:

Chicken Patty · Oct 24, 2010

Damn dude that sucks. However, there's a lot of people using them without issues. I think you just got some bad luck dude.

(FIH) The Don · Oct 24, 2010

yeah me and hardware is not very good friends lately
