Pros: none

Cons: New build, switched with msi itx and can not get a blue screen. All components bought new at Newegg. Replacement does not give a display either. Sys fan goes but no hdmi or vga feed.

Other Thoughts: No one knows what is happening. Called local repair shop and they are not able to refresh bios.

Manufacturer Response:

We are sorry to hear about the issues you are experiencing with your motherboard. Prior to shipping from our factory, all motherboards are tested to ensure that they are working properly. A DOA issue can be caused by any of the main components, including CPU, memory, power supply and motherboard. If possible we would recommend testing the motherboard in the following fashion.

Remove the motherboard from the case, with only CPU, CPU fan, memory and power supply connected. Place on a flat non static surface. Reseat the CPU. Test with only one memory at a time and reseat memory. Ensure that both the 24 pin and 4 pin (ATX12V) connections are connected from the power supply. Connect the power button from the case or short the power pins (6 and 8) to power on the system. If still have any issues or questions, please contact us and we can work with you to find a solution.

I or any of my team members here at technical support will be able to help you.

Pros: Runs super with 25w and cool in AZ abeyant temp 80f its running 15c-20c under a load. HDMI, mini pci slot. loaded with G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL7D-4GBXH of ram with timings set at 7-7-7-14. I went with the 5150 AM1 1.6 quad core cpu

Cons: not a con because almost all only have 2 sata ports

Other Thoughts: No problems with the 2 I have bought. just make sure when you get a case it fits most of the mini atx cases choke off the fan to the cpu or the ram is to tall. best to be on the safe side and get a reg case for it and it will stay awesomely cool

Pros: Install was seemless! Installed win 7 pro and upgraded to win 10 no issues. Installed with 5350, 240g ssd and 8g Mushkin ddr3L. I would recommend 8 gigs as when updating and installing i was using 6 gb+ and it took a while. READ THE DIRECTIONS PEOPLE. It clearly states that ram slot two for a single stick.

Cons: None other than the dual serial/com ports. Could have used more usbs or just leftoff the board

Other Thoughts: If this comes available again i would buy another just to tinker with. Video seems capable of streaming for online videos and streaming services. Great for htpc and internet browsing. I was going for low power so i used one simgle stick as this board does not support dual channel as well as an ssd. Have not hooked up thru watt meter yet to test yet

Pros: Good price for this little board with on-board HDMI.

Cons: Bad Ram 1 Slot. Put this together for a Christmas Present but when I started it for the first time only fans came on, no mobo outputs (video, usb, etc.). After trouble shooting Power supply, Processor, and ram, found out that #1 ram slot is bad on mobo. plugged ram into #2 slot with all original hardware i installed and came alive. I read other reviews stating same problem with this mobo.

Other Thoughts: You might want to update bios if you have this mobo, I have read many people are having errors until they do.

Pros: Price, I wanted to get something low cost to play with Pfsense and found this board it has a pcie x16 unlike a lot of the other m-itx boards that only have x1 or x2 slots.

Cons: mini pcie doesnt support mini sata, it doesn't have a mini sata or m.2 socket

Other Thoughts: for the price $(30) this board is hard to beat for just surfing the web or word processing. I am happy with this purchase I installed windows 7 on it first just to see how well it responded and besides the graphics I can’t complain at all . I am glad I did not read the reviews before I purchased this as it was only $30 because the experience I had is way different than most.

Pros: Price, none else.

Newegg took care of me. :D

Cons: I never wrote bad review because i never seen anything this bad.

I bought 2 of them and loaded both with windows 7 and had multiple errors crashes, shutdowns, when putting computer to sleep would go to sleep and never wake up unless restart.
In Bios after the most recent bios update, I would change ram speed to 1600Mhz and it wouldn't post or go back into bios! had to pull the battery on both boards to get back into bios. and same issue when trying to mess with cpu speed.

Other Thoughts: If they send me one for free to earn my trust back then id pay for it after if it worked good. then would take down this review.

i just never seen such a bad motherboard and like i said both brand new and both did same thing. I used 3x psu 2x cpus 4x ram sticks and all same results!

Pros: It is the most reasonably priced Motherboard. There are 4 USB 2.0 & 2 USB 3.0 on the back panel. Both Memory Slots work but the instructions say that if you are only going to use 1 slot, use the slot farthest from the APU. The SATA Ports (2) are 6 GB/s. VGA & HDMI ports, and you can use both at the same time. 6 channel HD Sound. Gigabit Ethernet port. Although the Auto setting in the bios says the memory is DDR3-1333, Testing says that the DDR3-1600 Memory is running at 1600. Mini ITX size will fit in all the bigger cases (if they stick to standards).

Cons: Bios needs updating & tweaking.

Pros: Bought for a mumble server, first attempt on boot up nothing, checked everything good change ram slots boom works. good for the money low wattage works with linux. good thing i only need to use 1 ram slot

Cons: defective ram slot number 1, had to retest components to get to boot

Manufacturer Response:

Pros: I used ECS boards back in the early 2000's and had nothing but problems with them. 2 out of 5 were junk. So I was a little apprehensive about going with ECS again. But for the price, newegg's eggcelent return policy I figured why not.
It worked! had heard that ECS has been working hard on improving their quality.
For this little build for a client with limited funds she had I needed to keep costs under $200. This board, CPU, case, memory all worked out great.
May have to consider using ECS more.

Cons: It didn't bring me coffee

Pros: UEFI i love it love the layout

Cons: have been waiting for about a week to get it in i hooked it up and no post after about half an hour of trouble shooting it came down to the number one ram slot being bad so probably going to have to rma this board and wait for a new one to come in.

Other Thoughts: still gave it 3 stars due to the great bios and how it worked on the number 2 ram slot but after the ram we will see if that changes or not
