Overall Review: Ran a benchmark using ATTO Disk Benchmark using the default settings (and default formatting - FAT32, 4096 KB sectors) Size - Write / Read .5KB - .3 Mbps / .5 Mbps 1KB - .4 Mbps / 1.2 Mbps 2KB - .8 Mbps / 2.3 Mbps 4KB - 2.3 Mbps / 4.1 Mbps 8KB - 3.2 Mbps / 6.6 Mbps 16KB - 4.8 Mbps / 10.1 Mbps 32KB - 6.9 Mbps / 13.8 Mbps 64KB - 9.0 Mbps / 16.8 Mbps 128KB - 9.1 Mbps / 16.6 Mbps 256KB - 9.2 Mbps / 16.6 Mbps 512KB - 8.9 Mbps / 16.6 Mbps 1024KB - 9.3 Mbps / 16.6 Mbps 2048KB - 9.0 Mbps / 16.6 Mbps 4096KB - 9.35 Mbps / 16.6 Mbps 8192KB - 9.37 Mbps / 16.6 Mbps

Pros: The motherboard works great! The fan on the CPU heatsink isn't very loud and it doesn't consume much power.

Cons: I tried to stick a PCIe x1 TV Tuner card in the PCIe slot and the computer would not output integrated video using HDMI or VGA. There isn't a setting in the BIOS / UEFI to enable integrated video.

Overall Review: I contacted ECS about the issue and they said, "Unfortunately the PCIe slot is for graphics only"
