Designed for hardware professionals and overclocking enthusiasts, the ECS Golden Z77H2-AX motherboard delivers the best quality and power you demand to push the boundaries. The golden style, from heatsink, caps and rear I/O ports, evokes a high-end, luxury feel. This board based on Intel Z77 Express chipset supports 22nm Ivy Bridge processor, 4 dual-channel DDR3 memory up to 2800 (OC), Lucid Virtu Universal MVP GPU Virtualization software and PCIe 3.0. It also spares no expense on design and components, such as ECS Super Alloy Choke and 100% Solid CAP for extreme stability, as well as 15μ gold contact on CPU socket and Memory slot pin for error-free signal and highest level of reliability. mSATA interface enables easy integration with the latest SSD storage technology. The thermal chromic technology, which is adopted for the first time in the industry, changes the heatsink's color according to temperature, giving you a direct view of cooling status and preventing overheating.
ECS Super Alloy Choke - 1.5X Long-Lasting StabilityReport shows that under unstable current or full loading environment conditions, general choke is more likely to burn out or even result in system shut down. ECS Super Alloy Choke represents the latest innovative technology in sufficient power usage, high temperature tolerance and full current stability. With outstanding capability, ECS Super Alloy Choke offers the most energy-efficient, lowest EMI interference, highest life-span and 150% higher stability than other products.
Nonstop Technology - ECS exclusive long-term stability solutionSuper Marathon 3X Stability, which is carried out in more than 3 times testing cycle and military level environment, runs over 30,000 times quality test within 72 hours, providing guarantee of stability and durability and making end-users easy to go beyond the limitation. Sahara Severe Test is a harsher test standard, with 125% higher than industrial traditional temperature under burn-in test of 50? and ensures quality of components to prove the stability and performance under full loading and high temperature. Apache Long-Life CAP, along with advanced “Wave” multi-layer filter technology which supplies pure and stable current, enables up to 6 times longer lifespan than ordinary capacitor and full capability of stabilizing current and standing high temperature. ECS Thor Ultra Protection, the NASA-level anti-static technology features dozens of protection diodes and capacitors. It keeps low clamping voltage to avoid anti-static happen and prevent component damage from potential danger.
Qooltech IVQoolTech IV includes three heat pipes and combines thermal chromic technology with heat sink. With special welding technology, heat from chipset transfers to copper pipes directly, enhancing effective heat dissipation to achieve 20% more efficiency . Featuring thermal chromic technology, the heat sink would change its color according to different temperature, which is the first time the technology is adopted in the industry.
