ECS Motherboards now equipped with Solid Capacitors

I totally agree with you, bro Siopao.

But my point trying to stretch is that "good customer service / quick RMA" is definitely a big plus in Motherboards...that goes for other components as well. Apparently, most beg to argue that it's a big CON instead of a PRO in selecting mobos.

mao. an example why most of the people here in computer hardware section would recommend a silverstone power supply... aside from it's reliability, you can count on a good customer service from the supplier/distri (fineupgrades) and the manufacturer silverstone. of course i can't deny that some silverstone psu's have issues but as covered within the warranty, then it could easily be replaced at a very fast turn around time.

However, if the client is experiencing instability on his PC (hang-up, sudden reboot, etc.) due to low voltage or voltage fluctuation, then have the PSU replaced (RMA).

Yes, that's exactly the point I'm talking about... fact of the matter, (back on the topic) Why would most ppl here bash ECS mobos when they actually do the same thing in the local setting when it comes to RMA? Is it because it's "only" ECS and not some other patronized brand... as pointed by Sempron Guy.

Funny, isn't it?

ECS Motherboards now equipped with Solid Capacitors by VR-Zone.com

Elitegroup Computer Systems (ECS), well-known for its motherboard products, has announced that all their motherboards will be using solid capacitors around the CPU region.



ECS stated that the CPU consumes the most power during heavy computation, therefore the CPU power regulation area requires much more durable components. Thus, ECS opted the option of using solid capacitors instead of traditional electrolytic capacitors in areas around the CPU for all their motherboards. Solid capacitors typically operate at 10% lower temperature, offer 1000 times more electrical conductivity, have better reliability and longer lifespan. ECS also guarantees that they are using authentic solid capacitors unlike some manufacturers which use traditional electrolytic capacitors but cover them up with a solid capacitor shell.

hehehehehehehe...naa gyudy gipa-tamaan ang ECS ani nga statement da...tanawa gyud na pag ayo inyong mga favorite brands mboard

However several of us here put it, most of those who know better will be hesitant to trust this brand.

Check this board for example: ECS H67H2-M



Why in the world would they put massive Heatsinks + Heatpipe pa gyud on an H67 mobo when they know fairly well that you cannot overclock on an H67? What else is the objective other than to mislead those who dont know better?

@keropi - that's absolutely better than having none at all like what gigabyte is doing to its h67 models, those heatsinks actually help alot in passive cooling.

ECS isn't a bad brand, the thing is low end man gud mostly paliton sa mga taw since ECS ramay mu dive sa prices on that area, you can't expect much from low end hardware. Their Hi-end models and those black-ed models and videocards are very solid products.

Asus - overated, overcommercialized and overpriced brand.

Gigabyte - one of the best but overlooked by the masses, bec of .... oh well thats advertisement for ya.

Having a decent cooler on the mosfet area has NOTHING to do with the board being able to overclock or not, the cooler the mosfets run the more stable the voltages it provides and the longer it can last. With the typical design of 4-6phase these things work harder and need to be cooled down, altho there are some mother boards that dont add cooling to the mosfets to cut down on costs. Even on a 12phase board these things run quite hot, I believe only the 24phase can run totally passive but with good airflow.

I am also fully aware and had this taken into account. My contention is the exaggeration they put into this board which translates to more price premium is a waste to spend on. Normally people would think that this board is rock-solid just by basing from the looks. That is what ECS is aiming to project. But then a modest heatsink will do for an H67. I would understand the heatsink overkill if it was a P67 or Z68. I too would want this heatsink on my board but i would not want to pay more for this if i cannot maximize its use, thus the price premium.

In the end, transparency earns a manufacturer my vote.

Pila diay ang price sa mobo that you saw that had this, Kay the ECS h67 mobo's that have heatsinks that are available here are actually 1k less over the gigabyte h67 which doesn't have any. Msi and Asus brands that are of the same spec line are 1-2k more expensive than the gigabyte model.

Btw why so againts ECS for adding blings on their mobo and still selling them cheap? Ever saw Asus or Asrock H67 mobo and their prices?
