ECS KN1 Extreme(nForce4 Ultra)Review

Link.

The fact that ECS have added an extra couple of Serial ATA ports and thrown in a USB wireless network adapter (and a 802.11g compliant one no less) only adds to the completeness of the bundle. That all of this comes at an RRP of just £94 including VAT makes it taste all the sweeter.

Site was down earlier for some reason.

It's working now. Very nice package. I'de like to get my hands on one to put through it's paces.

Wow! Great bundle, good voltage ranges, and a bios that adds the missing multi control and this looks to be a great deal. Just need higher CPU frequency range.

bap4201 you`re welcome.

DP & FastEddie,I agree with you both,btw did you see this at the end of the review.

Over the past year ECS has been working hard to improve its image within the market by listening to our customers and by producing high quality components while maintaining competitive pricing.

As part of this we include a 3 years RTB warranty for all our Extreme range motherboards mirroring our confidence in the quality of these products.

I did. I've been impressed with ECS's efforts of late. They are bringing three NF4 based board to market, span two cpu interfaces. This alone will be something unique to the market.

Check out this ECS Newsrelease on NF4, scrolling to the bottom you'll find an NF4/754 based board announcement. ---> NF4 / 754

DP you`ll like this ,

As a result of this we have amended the BIOS (v1.0C) to address the weaknesses shown by the review. This includes the addition of the ?Hammer FID Control? allowing adjustment of the CPU multiplier to provide more control for over-clocking the system.

With this modification and all the other benefits that HEXUS.net has already highlighted, this has now made it even better value and a strong contender for the gaming market.

FastEddie thx for the link.
