: ECS boards suck! My friends had some for their Athlon and Duron. After 3 months both boards died. Maybe it was a fluke.

Odd that two boards died inside of 3 months. Were they in different computers? If not I might suspect power supply problems. Actually I think I remember something on Anandtech saying that they didn't have as many power regulating caps so they needed a stable power supply.

They are supposed to have a 2-year manufacturer's warranty, not that that matters when your 'puter dies after 3 months :-((

I remember someone on this board posted that he had built five systems with these boards with no problems. Would be interested in more info as I was also personally considering this board for a future upgrade.

Thanks
