Introduction

ECS Elitegroup has been around for more than two decades and is known to provide consumers with some of today’s most budget friendly motherboards. While ECS has been providing some of today’s most affordable products all these years, recently ECS did a complete overhaul on its design and beefed up its components. They did this to compete with some of today’s big name manufacturers in the performance arena. ECS is what we would call “Out with the old, in with the new” and we were quite impressed with ECS Elitegroup’s new aesthetics and layout on its new Z87 series motherboard.
