*/ECS was keen to tell bit-tech that its Black Edition products are of

higher quality than before, while not targeting the very high-end, ECS

will try to appeal to the more value concious "middle-high level". At

just US$260 the ECS X58B-A Black Edition should certainly appeal to more

cost concious upgraders.

 

The board has a simple design -- six phase power regulation and just one

phase for north bridge and another for all six memory slots. ECS claims

support for an impressive DDR3-1600 XMP, although we'll have to see for

ourselves if this works. ECS does include solid aluminium capacitors and

environmentally sealed chokes, but the MOSFETs are old school and

there's no attempt for fancy power regulation like other companies are

now using./

*Cheers guys!
