Initial Setup
Getting the ECS Z170-CLAYMORE mounted into my test bench was easy as could be. With diagrams to show where you put the memory and the PCIe cards right on the board's surface, there's not much of a fuss about where to put stuff. The Z170-CLAYMORE definitely makes those Intel 750 Series PCIe drives a bit more appealing to me, that's for sure.
The layout of all the power plugs and pin headers is fairly basic, so there isn't a mess of cables all over the place when using the ECS Z170-CLAYMORE.
