ECS Elitegroup A785GM-AD3 (V1.0) Pro Reviews

Unfortunately, there is not much here for high-end gamers, as CrossFire is not supported by the A785GM-AD3 and graphics cards with large dual slot coolers will block the top two SATA ports, leaving only the three bottom ports available. Let's face it though - this board is not a high-end model and if issues like these bother you, I am sure you are willing to shell out the extra cash necessary to avoid them. In the end, the ECS A785GM-AD3 did exactly what is supposed to do. It was stable, performed well and had many great features due to the 785G/SB710 chipset combination. So, If you are someone who is not looking to break the bank and at the same time get the biggest return possible, the ECS A785GM-AD3 motherboard could be a good choice for you.

ECS has taken the 785G chipset, and added a few features not found on many motherboards including Special ACC, eJiffy and 15 micron gold plating. This results in a better motherboard for overclocking versus the 785GM-M board which is similar in many respects. Performance on the 785GM-AD3 is stellar with higher overall performance is excellent for this chipset. ECS Black Series boards now have a new addition with 3x the gold plating of previous boards. Overclocking was ok with over 3GHz attained on this board and ECS including a Special ACC for higher clocks.
