ECS Durathon motherboard technology

ECS introduces Durathon, a set of features to improve the quality of its motherboards. 
Durathon from Elitegroup Computer Systems (ECS) exclusively delivers a hassle free computing experience by solving common PC hardware problems before they can even occur. A specially devised testing regime – far stricter than common industry standards and combined with the highest quality components, ensures that ECS Durathon motherboards can be relied on stability and reliability far into the future.

Durathon derives from Durable and Marathon, which means each board runs through the strenuous testing cycle and guaranteed the ability of working flawlessly even under the most extreme environmental conditions.

For PC owners suffering crashes, instability and poor performance, ECS Durathon motherboards go above and beyond industry standards to ensure that your motherboard can now deliver the stability, reliability and performance that we promise. ECS Durathon comprises four interlocking tests and enhancements together to protect PCs and defeat many of the most common causes of hardware problems and system instability.

Ultimate Hardware Protection
ECS Durathon motherboards must have the highest level Bi-Directional Splitting Glass Fabric, which is 3 times more effective humidity protection than general glass fabric. ECS Bi-Directional Splitting Glass Fabric narrows the vacant space between the glass fabric of the PCB which can lower air permeability for dampness proofing and reduces short circuit or burn out malfunction. It improves the thermal stress of the PCB and makes the motherboard more reliable against heat. ECS Bi-Directional Splitting Glass Fabric is the highest level splitting glass fabric with highest quality copper foil and resin.

ECS Durathon motherboards use only the highest grade ECS Superior Solid Capacitors as opposed to ensure that the performance will last longer than other motherboards and are designed to perform great in the most extreme environmental conditions. Typical electrolytic capacitors last only 32,000 Hours (3.6 Years) but ECS Superior Solid Capacitors are designed to last up to 200,000 Hours (22 Years) with a six times longer lifespan at above normal operating temperatures of 65?C. ECS Superior Solid Capacitors are designed to operate consistently at temperatures of up to 100?C meaning you get stable performance over time, even at high temperatures.

The Toughest Stability Testing
ECS motherboards with Durathon offer the Extreme Temperature Resistance range 10?C higher and lower than the competitors' motherboards. ECS Durathon motherboards have been tested for extreme operating conditions in the wide range temperature standard, which improves the lifespan of the entire motherboard including components and PCB and also reduces stress on the motherboard due to drastic temperature fluctuations in cold environments. The Extreme Temp Resistance checks every board's ability to keep working flawlessly – even when handling supremely demanding computing tasks under the most extreme environmental conditions, which is far above the industry standards for motherboards and gives you unmatched durability and stability.

In addition, every ECS Durathon motherboard must undergo the 1.5K Marathon Test: a comprehensive product testing. ECS Durathon motherboards are put through a thorough and comprehensive 1507 test points that checks every aspect of the motherboard in order to ensure high quality and stability. The test items go through a rigorous reliability test that includes not only different functional tests but also the minute details of the motherboards components. ECS Durathon motherboards completed the strictest reliability test that ensures the motherboards are ready to take whatever you throw at it. When it comes to the quality and durability of your motherboard, ECS builds a new industry standard to ensure that you have a motherboard that will last long and always continue to out perform the competition. Trust only motherboards built with Durathon Technology.

Well really? What about PC's with 10yrs plus that still running, not to speak about other electronic appliances, with cheap electrolytic capacitors...

that sounds about right if you never power cycle them they will dry out most PC's aren't left running for 10yrs at a time infact they spend most of their time powered off or in low power standby modes

most PC's = 8hr per day x 365 x 10yrs = 29200 hrs non continuous use

when they say 32000hrs they look at it this way

power on = 24hrs per day x 365 days x 3.6 yrs = 31536 hrs continuous use

Well that's a way of seeing it, but for example the electrolytic capacitors in the power supply on the primary side, and on 5vsb are always on and the same for the motherboard 5vsb side.

But this is just marketing BS based on some capacitor manufacturer MTBF data. In the end all this depends on voltage rating, capacity, load/job type, etc...

you got servers that run for years without boards being replaced.
