ECS P67H2-A Motherboard

Conclusions

We were really happy to see ECS not only improving the quality of their motherboards, but adding true high-end features, especially the Lucid HydraLogix 200 processor, which allows you to run any video cards in parallel, even if they are different and from different chip vendors. We were also impressed to see ECS using a 13-phase voltage regulator circuit and adding monitoring LEDs on them. The other highlights of this product include the three PCI Express x16 slots (working at x16/x16 or x16/x8/x8) and six USB 3.0 ports. And we also must congratulate ECS in their (long awaited) change in the color scheme of their motherboards (ECS is known for using 300 different colors in their motherboards and it seems that the finally realized that this doesn’t look good).

Of course there are small things here and there that ECS could have done better, especially the color scheme on the SATA ports, where they used white for the SATA-300 ports and black for the SATA-600 ports, the opposite of what all other manufacturers use. We also would like to see more fan power connectors (it only comes with a total of three, and one is obviously used by the CPU cooler), a feature that is imperative in a high-end motherboard.

ECS is known for one thing: bringing products that don’t cost an arm and a leg. Therefore, we anticipate the P67H2-A to come with a good price for all the features it carries.
