ECS  has launched the X58B-A2 Black Series motherboard based on Intel's X58 Express chipset for Core Bli7mey processors.

Apparently targeted at overclocking beginners, the  ECS X58B-A2 boasts Intel QuickPath Interconnect up to 6.4GT/s, triple channel DDR3 1600MHz memory, support for ATI CrossFireX Technology with dual x16 PCI Express Gen2 slots, and ECS' M.I.B. II overclocking utility for beginners.

The ECS X58B-A2 supports the new VRD 11.1 power specification  which allows the processor to work even under one phase power only.

The board is imminently available for an as-yet undisclosed price. µ

Does it work?

I've seen far too many failed ECS boards to even trust them quality wise. I hope they finally shape up and start making decent quality stuff.

Here is to hoping that they actually started making decent stuff finally.

Ugh!

That's one ugly motherboard. Not sure if it's just me, but there is way too much yellow and orange/bronze on that board. Big and black sounded promising, but this doesn't work.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
