I’m fairly critical of every motherboard that passes through my fingers – it has to be perfect. The BIOS has to work flawlessly, the performance has to be in the upper echelons, the design choices have to be right, it has to offer a good warranty and a good package, and be priced aggressively for the consumer. After having the opportunity to look at the ECS HQ and talk to a VP, this will not change. I will keep reviewing ECS with the same rigor as before.
However, since my tour, I feel it is important for a reviewer who works on a product to see how it is made. How the design process is thought out and realized for something that will eventually come to market. I will be aggressively questioning all and sundry behind design choices and product representations of market segments – it is important to question how these companies think, in order to predict what will happen in the future, so we can possibly steer them into what you, the readers, want.
What David Chien said about how people only remember the top few companies in terms of electronic products, in my opinion, is true – if ECS want more sales, they will need to push their products beyond current designs and performance. They need to breach the top slots held by ASUS, Gigabyte, ASRock, and to a certain extent MSI (in terms of motherboards). This is wholly dependant on the design team, the market research and the markets themselves into how ECS position and design their products. ECS will never steer away from the OEM market – it’s their core business. But here’s hoping they devote more time and money to the consumer market.

IMO they know how to make excellent products but more often than not they follow up with terminally stupid decisions like not releasing an updated mobo BIOS for easily fixed problems and not even releasing a highly attractive product to some regions (*cough* Acer 3820TG US availability *cough*)zhongkko - Sunday, June 12, 2011 - link

I have also had good experiences with ECS boards. The only thing I can complain about is their northbridge/southbridge chips run unsually hot on their Black Series boards.Buying mobos from reputable companies does mean you are less likely to get problems but is does mean you are immune to problems.
I even have a Jetway LGA775 board running a E5200 @ 3.4Ghz (factory clock is 2.5Ghz) at the max "safe" volts of 1.3625v for 2 years solid. A few weeks ago windows started reporting intermittent errors on one of the cores. I say that is pretty decent showing from what is definitely a budget board.
Point is it is always a gamble with varying odds. You takes your chances and pays your school fees.

My tablet broke last week and there was so much information I needed about the university that I could not restore it. I urgently had to solve this situation and on the site https://graduateway.com/tag/romeo-and-juliet/ I was able to achieve this. They helped me write a couple of essays on my classes. So I thank them for that.
