For those wanting an inexpensive X48 based motherboard this is a good choice, as the features are the same across the board and ECS uses high quality components like Solid Capacitors in their design and the board is $20 less expensive on Newegg at the moment than the next least expensive motherboard. From a performance point of view the ECS board behaves exactly like the other X48 based motherboards, which is a good thing. Where ECS has a problem with this board is in the single fan header which is obvious right out of the box. Digging into the BIOS, the overclocker will likely want to stay away from this board as it doesn't give as many overclocking options compared to some other X48 boards on the market.
