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.
