ECS Launch H81 Motherboards with Durathon Certification
Almost every motherboard manufacturer likes to have some form of certification on their motherboards to showcase advanced testing or improved components – with ECS this is called Durathon. Durathon is meant to imply:
- A triple density PCB (less noise between electrical layers),
- Extreme Temperature Resistance (higher temperature threshold),
- 1.5K Point Marathon Testing (1500 checks) and
- Superior Solid Capacitors (cleaner power)
As the newest additions to the Durathon range, ECS has launched a trio of H81 motherboards as part of their Essentials range. H81 is a chipset aimed at internet cafes, multimedia applications (signage) and general stock office situations, and thus comes without a lot of the extras seen on the pricier motherboards (like RAID).
The three boards are:
| MB | H81H3-A3 | H81H3-M7 | H81H3-I |
|---|---|---|---|
| CPU | LGA1150 socket Haswell |
LGA1150 socket Haswell |
LGA1150 socket Haswell |
| CHIPSET | Intel® H81 ATX |
Intel® H81 microATX |
Intel® H81 mini-ITX |
| MEMORY | 2x DDR3 | 2x DDR3 | 2x DDR3 |
| EXPANSION SLOT | 2 x PCIe x16 (x16/x4) 1 x PCIe x1 2 PCI |
1 x PCIe x16 2 x PCIe x1 |
1 x PCIe x16 1 x Mini PCIe |
| STORAGE | 2 x SATA III 2 x SATA II |
2 x SATA III 2 x SATA II |
2 x SATA III 2 x SATA II |
| AUDIO | 6-CH HD Audio | 6-CH HD Audio | 6-CH HD Audio |
| LAN | GIGA LAN | GIGA LAN | GIGA LAN |
| Graphic Output | HDMI DVI VGA |
HDMI DVI VGA |
HDMI or DVI / VGA |
| USB | 2 x USB 3.0 8 x USB 2.0 |
2 x USB 3.0 8 x USB 2.0 |
2 x USB 3.0 8 x USB 2.0 |
All three motherboards seem on the face of it pretty basic (two DIMMs, one real GPU slot, minimal SATA 6 Gbps/USB 3.0/audio), but if you merely want a non-K system with a HDD and an ODD, ECS have you covered.
