ECS A85F2-A Golden motherboard review

For this article we test and review the ECS A85F2-A Golden motherboard. This motherboard is intended for AMDs Trinity APU architecture processors which offer tremendous value for money when it comes to the massive features this cute little motherboard offers. ECS delivered the Golden edition, meaning a black motherboard with gold themed components. And that surely makes a difference aesthetics wise.

I wouldn't be suckered in again though. I fell for the good reviews on the GF8200A, only to find the temp was constantly reading 40C on the CPU, RMAed to ECS that then sent it back saying nothing wrong, 40C is reporting correctly. I told them no its not, there is no way my CPU was ALWAYS 40c in a cold room or a hot room and no fluctuation from startup to intense gaming. Put me off ever buying ECS again, no matter how good a review might say a product is.

Nice board, love the colours. Not seen much by way of micro-ATX and mini-itx yet though for the HTPC market...
