Question 1

Does this board support wifi and bluetooth?

Accepted Answer

No - not built-in or on board.  Most mobo's do not - especially if a cheaper one like this.  However, can easily add via USB dongle, PCI card, or PCI-express cards.

Question 2

HOW MANY FAN HEADERS?

Accepted Answer

There are only two... one for the cpu cooler and one for one case fan.

Question 3

I found my bios version through cpuz, but I don't see anything in the bios itself. Where is it? Are there updates? I didn't see anything on their website.

Accepted Answer

the website at ECS.COM.tw has a bios version for download.  I believe that it is the intial version and would not be needed, however, I am not certaina bout this.  There is also a version for Broadwell CPUs, however, there is a warning about this BIOS version.  Thus I would not download it unless you are having problems currently.

Question 4

Why doesn't this board have an 8 pin cpu connector?

Accepted Answer

I run with all kinds of Intel and AMD boards high end to low and it simply just has the 4 pin rather than dual.  Essentially just an extra 12 volt point for the CPU but I have not found important unless really pushing an OC.  I have the infamous Intel Pentium anniversary on it at a healthy 4.5 Ghz with no issues...

Question 5

I have 2x4gbs of RAM and I was wondering two things: for dual channel do I go off of the grouping or color because the manual says prioritize the Whites and that the groups are individual channels. Also, my RAM is running at 1333 MHz how do I get it to run at 1600?, which it is suppose to be.

Accepted Answer

You can set timing in the bios.... the colors represent the channels. BTW RAM speed isn't going to make a huge difference in anything when it comes to DDR3.

Question 6

I will be replacing an oem amd board which is fully square 9.6 x 9.6". Will I have any problems putting all the screws back in? I will be using an I-3. Does this board overclock? thanks

Accepted Answer

You cannot overclock an i3 I would recommend just getting a cheaper board.
