Following industry trends the PX1 Extreme requires only a few components to operate as a full system. The primary PCIe x16 slot operates at full speed, while the secondary operates in x4 mode.
Motherboards Previous page Next page. The BIOS's meager assortment of tweaking and xp1 options is simply unacceptable for an enthusiast board, and I can't even begin to understand how ECS thought it could get by with such a bare minimum.

The board also includes four fan headers and a nice Smart Fan control system. The PCB tested was revision 1. First, the two PCIe x16 slots are closer than they should be. Log in Don't have an account?

The color combination could stand to be a little more coordinated but overall ECS is improving with each release. Voldenuit It's nice of Krogoth to fill in for Chuckula over the holidays.
Customize The Tech Report While Ece has been creating motherboards marketed at the enthusiast community for some time, but they have never quite gotten it right. Merry Christmas from The Tech Report staff! About us Privacy policy Mailing list Mobile. MondayNovember 20, ECS has recently begun manufacturing ece targeted at the PC enthusiast and gaming markets.
Conclusions ECS has ecss a lot about catering to enthusiasts over the last year, but the PX1 Extreme shows that the company still has a lot to learn about the market. Some other boards have these features, but none have them all. I actually had to refer to the manual in order to figure out how to connect the front panel switches.

The stock cooler has almost ece clearance left over after installation. The board was simple to install into our case and all connections were easily reached.
It would have been nice if the layout gave the PCIe x16 ports a little more room to breathe, too, and the board could use better x16 slot retention tabs. Fortunately for ECS, you can install and remove memory modules with a video card installed.
On a more serio The board is stable at stock speeds provided you stick with more relaxed memory timings. Secondly, the large gold colored heat sink behind the processor leaves virtually no clearance when even a stock Intel CPU cooler is used.
All trademarks used are properties of their respective owners. Overclocking and Memory Test Systems: While I agree that the moniker "Extreme" might be misguided to an overclocking nut, it qualifies when looking at the features.

The PX1 Extreme comes in a very elegant looking box. The voltage component heat sink is actually quite tall, and very well could interfere with the installation of many different cooling solutions.

During the testing, the heat sink remained reasonably cool to the touch. No Interruptions Day Shortbread. In that time I have never seen a more poorly laid out CPU area.
