Hello Everyone! 

 

Just curious if anyone has had a product from a company called ECS ?

 

I never heard of them and would like to know if anyone had any experience with them! 

 

Thanks!

Eh well I think many people will say they make lower end, lower quality products.  I know they make motherboards as I had one and out of all the motherboards I have had it is the only one to actually die on me.  Well actually it died on someone else when I sold an older pc to someone for $200.  The motherboard went to crap two weeks after I sold the pc.  Thank goodness I got the $200 instead of a dead pc.

Here is the Wikipedia on ECS ...

Interesting... 

 

I was looking at a motherboard for the LGA 1155 socket due to the ASrock I got crapped out on me...

I have a MSI motherboard in my cart. 

 

The only brand I get in the motherboard section. 

 

My 2500K came with a ASrock board and in works only with 2 memory sticks. 

 

You put all 4 it wont boot. 

 

But I was just curious to know about ECS products.
