    ECS is PCChips, Amptron, Mercury, Kobian, (etc.) and many low-end Micro ATX boards.

    They've probably taken someone over that I don't know about, too.
    You know there's something wrong when you open up a PSU and are glad to find Teapos.
    Why I don't buy cheap cases!

      ECS also integrates systems for Fry's Electronics, using the "Great Quality" name.

          So ECS is pretty much low end quality compaired to the other motherboard manufacturers?

            ECS makes a cheap product, but they sell it for a cheap price. I've used several ECS boards in some "on-the-cheap" builds, and have almost always been happy with them. One suggestion is to replace the caps early on to prevent headaches down the road.
            Ludicrous gibs!

              I'm using an ECS board right now. I only paid 16.99 USD including shipping from Newegg!

                old socket a ecs board was my fave, whenever i built system for friends with very low budget, they will be happy with that ecs i reccomended. i love chipset sis740 and 735. i never reccomend ecs+via chipset though.

                like dood said, it is adivised to check the mobo for failing caps after 1-2 year. once it is recapped it will back to its best performance. what best is recapping it early and need not to worry later/forever..

                i still think g-luxon and ost caps they used are craps. not if, it's a fact. ecs is also known for making false advertising with their onboard amd proc. well i dont know about the current ecs board (a64/intel chipset) coz no way i will buy ecs board again. (i think it's more a personal problem between me and ecs company )

                days are so short when you actually do something..

                  The fact is that G-Luxon and OST is still much better than complete crap like Chhsi or GSC which are often present on expensive boards. So with ECS, you get what you paid for which is not true for some other manufacturers.

                    I'd say they build to their customers BOM, they make boards for all different manufacturers as their OEM, Look at the Abit VA20... it's an ECS KM400 board, the bios is even interchangeable.

                    They also own a portion of AMP, so if you see connectors on a "high end" mainboard, they are using a product owned by ECS...

                      Xbox 1.6 Motherboards and Polymer Capacitors
                      by qwerty99
                      Hello!

                      I need to change the capacitors on my three original Xboxes.

                      Two of them are 1.6B revisions and have Hynix RAM, and the other one is a 1.6 with Samsung RAM.

                      The 1.6 has the infamous Nichicon HM capacitors around the CPU, which have all bulged and started to leak. This Xbox no longer powers on.

                      The 1.6B revisions have Rubycon MBZ capacitors that all look fine, but I’ll change them in due course. Both of these work fine.

                      I’ve seen some excellent threads on the forum about replacing/upgrading capacitors, but I can’t...

                      Recap motherboards :: Abit KG7-LITE and Soltek SL-75FRN2-L
                      by Foetuss
                      Hi all

                      Hope this is in the correct place.

                      I'm planning on recapping both motherboards. I actually already ordered recplament caps for them, where I will be changing out most for poly's.
                      Could use some double checking to see if I'm not doing something stupid .

                      Pictures of the boards are attached.
                      What I will be replacing with what : (planned)

                      Soltek Golden ::
                      4 1500µF 16V 10mm (5mmL) KZG => APSG160ELL152MJ16S (Chemi-Con 1500µF 16V)
                      6 3300µF 6.3V 10mm (5mmL) KZG => APSG160ELL272MJ20S (Chemi-Con 2700µF 16V)...

                      Looking for capacitor lists for Motherboards, Video Cards, Home Appliances
                      by madscientist750
                      I would like to ask if there is some kind of capacitor lists for motherboards, power supplies, video cards, audio cards, microcontroller powered home appliances, and so, that i could try to find and download. I use to repair those things and i would find it helpful if i could know in advance what parts may i need for common repairs.

                      practical courses for troubleshooting pc motherboards
                      by blues_spirit
                      Hello from France,
                      mon2 kindly advised me to post a thread to ask the question(s) I'm concerned about. I'm new to the forum and I'm looking for practical courses for troubleshooting pc motherboards especially laptops in Europe, if possible in France. I have been a computer network system administrator and a corrector of administration modules for automated programs under Unix. But I really miss the practical "ops" side of troubleshooting. So I would like to start from the beginning: 1.8V, 3.3V, 5V and 19V tests for example, etc...
                      Do you think this is feasible for me? I...

                      List of compatible laptop motherboards
                      by Deby

                      This is a list of compatible laptop motherboard information that I have been collecting for some time.
                      And it's still ongoing.
                      Every time I come across information that a board is compatible with another, I write it down.
                      Anyone who wants to, can continue to expand the list.
                      Packed in the rar, is an excel table that has additional information.
