At £68 the ECS board is comparable to the other Asus, Gigabyte and MSI 785G boards on the UK market: most sell from around £55-£75 depending on what features you're after. The ECS A785GM-M has a good set of basic features, but it does little to differe...
This motherboard produces a mixed impression. On one hand, we have excellent peripheral interfaces, high-quality components, and nice options. On the other hand, the BIOS seems to be buggy (Smart Fan and memory compatibility issues). Let's hope it wil...

ECS A785GM-M is a fully-loaded micro ATX motherboard targeted to users that don’t want a bigger ATX motherboard and/or probably won’t be running games all the time – don’t even try to run newer games because the on-board video from...
Wed like to thank ECS for providing the A785GM-M for our review today. Ive been highly impressed with many of their Black Series motherboards and I really commend them for making overclocking an easier process in their BIOS. Many vendors use termin...
