The ECS A890GXM-A arrived with a lot of potential and in many ways it did not disappoint. The new Qooltech III heatpipe cooler worked very well, keeping the Northbridge efficiently cooled, which also helped decrease the CPU temperature due to there be...

ECS has never been shy about releasing a new board based on a new chipset or new technology. They seem to always be right there knocking at the door of the latest and greatest that is released and they usually do it at a better price than many othe...
With the price being right $120, it is hard to really knock anything on this board. It performs well, has a great feature set and will allow some mild overclocking. A little more effort in the BIOS for overclocking and this could have been a great b...

Gigabyte and ASUS are obviously not the only manufacturers that have built motherboards around the 890GX; the competition is quite ferocious as of late since AMD is doing well with its Athlon II and Phenom II lineups. Another competitor in this marke...
In all honesty, the ECS A890GXM-A is not as great as it seems to be on paper. Despite the few useful features, such as the third PCI-E x16 (running at x4), the Display Port and the CMOS clear button at the back, it overclocks like a poop; its HT lin...

Though ECS has somewhat abandoned the competition in luxurious motherboards with lots of heatpipes, exclusive features and whatnot, company's motherboards do have their own style. At least you can easily recognize a representative of the mid-end Black...
ECS A890GXM-A is a very utilitarian, but also somewhat original motherboard. The complete set of video outputs allows connecting any monitors without adapters; the two Gigabit LAN ports may come in handy, if you want to use your PC as a gateway or jus...

AMD has launched a series of motherboards targeting the high-end of the integrated graphics market in the form of the 890GX chipset which replaced the 785 in AMD’s lineup of integrated video chipsets. The new chipset brings several features to the AMD...
The ECS A890GXM-A Black Edition is a fine example of an 890GX motherboard. The performance of the board was right up there with other 890GX boards and the board overclocked well. One issue with the ECS board was the lack of USB 3.0 support in terms of...

The last couple of weeks saw the release of AMD's new 890GX chipset, featuring slightly improved graphics over 790GX/785G (same chip, but clocked substantially higher) and with improved performance over SB750 with SB850, which feature SATA III 6.0Gb/s...
The 890GX chipset is certainly a step forward for AMD, bringing new technologies to the masses in an effective and affordable package. The two prime features here are obviously SATA 6.0Gb/s and USB 3.0, preparing consumers for upcoming products that ca...

product that offers more than a reference based product, yet a little less than the uber high-end gear out there. The AMD 890GX based motherboard chipsets proved their strength and by all means are really fun to work and play around with. When you pla...
Final Words & Conclusion ECS did a really good job with this A890GXM-A motherboard. It offers just as much functionality and a very decent feature set as the competition does. Granted the overclock options and features from brands like MSI and ASUS are...
