Meet the young rascal. This is the ECS board. We'll use it for baseline performance, unfortunately for a nice overclocking session you'll need something a little more spicy. Most features come straight of the Intel H55 chipset, except Ethernet really.
The board is budget in all its ways. You'll receive two SATA cables, a quick installation guide, manual and driver CD. But at 79 USD, what can one expect really ?
The motherboard has a mATX form factor. As you can observe by all the connectivity it's an interesting product. The board comes with a x16 PCIe slot, two x1 slots and a PCI slot. This will offer plenty of configurability.
The board comes standard with six USB connectors, SUB-D and DVI connectors, Gigabit Ethernet and 5.1 analog output. Unfortunately lacking are digital sound outputs like Coaxial or Optical TOSLINK and sure, HDMI.
ECS H55H-I Mini ITX motherboard review
We test the ECS H55H-I. It's been topic amongst many of the male versus female species for decades now and here at Guru3D today we will bring you the definitive answer to the eternal question ... does size matter ?! Pop on a Clarkdale based processor like the Core i3 or Core i5 series and you can use it's HDMI, DVI of DSUB graphics connector. Audio ? No worries the embedded Realtek ACL 8982 eight channel audio codec will happily output to analog or coaxial or optical TOSLINK S/PDIF connectors, need USB ? Well, the rear panel has six of them, need SATA2 ? Here we spot four ports and one eSATA, dual channel memory ? Yep supported, up-to 1600 MHz and in the end if you do not want to use the embedded graphics from the processor, then you can even pop in a full x16 PCIe graphics card and make a wicked gaming rig out of this very handy H55H-I motherboard.
ECS H55H-M motherboard review
If you can live just fine with just one Gigabit Ethernet connector, six SATA2 ports and analog 5.1 audio you can safe yourself a lot of buckaroonies alright. Yes you'd have a fairly high performance 'regular' PC which certainly doesn't have to be expensive. Today we look at such a product, it's the all new H55 chipset based ECS H55H-M motherboard priced at roughly 55 EUR / 79 USD. It comes in that all too familiar green PCB color, all the features you need to run a very decent PC, it's mATX based allowing much flexibility and even has a x16 PCIe slot should you want to seat a dedicated graphics card on it. And sure, being H55 -- if you pair it with a series 600 Core i5 processor or the Core i3 series (Clarkdale) processor you can make use of the embedded GPU inside that processor as well.
