    Another Black Series from ECS, this time on the 780G.

    Efficient cooling for the Northbridge , Supports up to 160W processors (overclocked), Good performance.

    Southbridge still heats up quickly, No HDMI to DVI adapter included.

A four phase power regulation oversees the CPU and as you can see there is plenty of space between the capacitors and the RAM slots, so installing big heat sinks will not be a problem.



The PCI slots are plenty and we have two PCI-E x1 slots, a single PCI-E x16 slot and three legacy PCI slots. What could have been better is if they would have included two PCI-E graphics card slots instead of two x1 slots. If Jetway can do it, I don't see any reason why ECS can't add CrossFire support on their premium board.

There are buttons for power and reset which is great for tweakers and enthusiast alike. There are just single BIOS by AMI.



There are plenty of aluminum heat sinks for the Northbridge and the CPU area. The bronze color really adds to the visual appeal, although I'm sure the yellow color blends in well too.

Wow can anyone compare this MotherBoard with Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe/Wireless Edition, M2N-SLI Deluxe. Since I planned to buy one of the above MotherBoard for AMD Athlon? 64 6000+ X2 (Socket AM2) Processor.
